You only need a Fitness to Work Certificate (sick note) if you are unable to work and are ill for longer than 7 calendar days. Your employer will provide you with an SC2 self-certificate form for shorter periods of illness. We can provide form SC1 for unemployed or self-employed patients.
If you do need a Fitness to Work Certificate (sick note) after the 7 day period, you will need to have seen or make an appointment to be seen by a GP, before a certificate will be issued.
