Change to Online appointment requests

You will now be able to request either a routine GP appointment or an urgent GP appointment. All appointment requests will be triaged by a GP and if deemed urgent, it is our policy that you will be seen as soon as possible. It is therefore important that you do not request an urgent appointment unless it is necessary.

Sick (fit) notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less

If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
