Fit Note Information

For ongoing Med3 certificates you do not need a GP appointment.

You can submit an electronic request by submitting a PATCHS administration request or call into the surgery and fill out a sick note request form. Please note, we will not take sick note requests over the phone. 

You do not require a doctor’s sickness certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less. Your employer may, however, may require you to complete a self-certification form SC1 which is available to download via this HMRC Website.

Doctors Med3 Fit Note

If you have been off work sick for more than 7 days and require a Doctor's sick note, you will need to be reviewed by a GP.

The quickest and easiest way is to submit a PATCHS administration request. The Doctor can review your online consultation and decide if you need to be reviewed face to face or if a note can be issued based on the information provided, we will contact you to let you know. Please include the reason for your extension and the duration required.
