Sickness Certificates (Fit notes)
If employees are off work for 28 days or less, they do not need to give their employer a fit note or other proof of sickness from a medical professional.
If the period of sickness started before 10 December 2021, employees do not have to provide a fit note if they are off work for 7 days or less.
When they return to work, their employer can ask them to confirm they’ve been off sick. This is called ‘self-certification’. The employer and employee will agree on how the employee should do this. They might need to fill in a form or send details of their sick leave by email. Please use the links below for more information.

Are you going on holiday ???
If you are travelling in the UK or abroad you will need to request your medication in plenty of time either through your chosen pharmacy or by calling in with a repeat slip . You will need to request at least 10 days before you are going away .If you are needing sooner or needing extra medication for long breaks away then please add a note to say you are going on holiday and how long for or it may not be processed.
We do not have any control over the timing of dispensing by your chosen pharmacy, you will need to check if they have all the items you are needing in stock in plenty of time before travelling.
The same applies for any other administrative requests such as fit to fly letter , letters from the GP advising of medication / needles to be carried abroad etc...We would need at least 3 weeks to process please. We will help where possible if a last minute /late deal holiday has been booked but this cannot be guaranteed. It is the patients re
Travel vaccinations and Travel Advice
We offer some travel vaccinations for free but some will need to be paid for through a private travel clinic. We offer this service as a courtesy to our patients and it is not always possible to offer all the time, for example, if the practice nurse is off sick or on annual leave. In those circumstances the patient will need to seek advice elsewhere unless they can wait to see the practice Nurse. *we have price list and contact numbers in reception*
If a last minute holiday is to be booked it is the patients responsibility to seek advice about vaccinations and medication before booking. If we have no appointments available to see the Practice Nurse then an appointment will need to be made with an alternative clinic.
**Please see our Travel vaccinations section **
We will always look to help where we can on an individual basis.
Thank you
