If you have been ill for 7 days or less you don’t need to see a Doctor. You can complete a Self-Certification form yourself. However some employers insist on a Doctor’s note regardless.
Many employers have their own self-certification forms. If your employer doesn’t have its own form you can download the Self Certification Form or collect one from the surgery. Please print it, fill it in and hand it in to your employer. You do not need to see a Doctor.
