Sick (fit) notes

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

To request a sick note:

  • submit an administration request via our online form
  • contact us by phone between 8:15am and 3pm

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.

If your employer asks for a return to work note

Please note, Atlantic Medical Group do not provide certificates that you are fit to return to work after a period of sickness.

If your employer is requesting this a charge may be incurred, which they should pay for.
