The Doctor’s note is referred to as a Fit Note. Your GP is entitled to charge you for a Fit Note when the illness has been for 7 days or less.

It is not always necessary to visit your Doctor in order to receive a Fit Note.

Please complete this form. Someone will be in touch from the practice to explain when you will receive the Fit Note and to arrange payment.

Please note: Sick notes cannot be future dated. For example, if you need the sick note for next Monday, but ask for it today, the GP has to issue it next Monday.
