If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
To request a sick note:
- fill out a sick note request form
- phone or visit the surgery from 10am to 6pm
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.
For University:
The practice cannot routinely provide medical evidence in support of an extenuating circumstances application to the university.
All consultation notes are available on the NHS app, and the university will accept screenshots as evidence of contact with the health service. If you are unable to access consultation notes on the NHS app please speak to a Care Navigator on 0115 8227979.
Further information on the University Policy for extenuating circumstances applications can be found here Extenuating circumstances – The University of Nottingham.
