If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
To request a sick note:
- fill out a sick note request from via the Paco GP Digital Front Door
- telephone or visit the surgery between 10am to 5.30pm
If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less
If you are off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you have been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you have been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.
