Sickness Certificates
You do not require a doctor's sickness certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less. Your employer may however require you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer or on the www.Gov.uk website.
If you are sick for more than seven days, then please make an appointment to see GP to get a Fitnote.
To receive an update on the progress of your benefit payment please add your mobile number and/or email id to your fit note before posting.
Digital/paperfree Fitnote option is available. Please discuss with reception or Clinician.
NHS Number
This is a unique 10 digit number allocated by the NHS at the time of birth or when you register with a GP practice for the first time. You may be asked to provide this whenever you access any NHS organisation's services to identify you correctly.
If you do not know your NHS number then please ask at reception and keep it safe.
