Request your sick note online
If you are off work for 7 days or less, you do not need to give your employer a sick note or other proof of sickness from a medical professional.
Your employer may ask you to complete a self-certificate (SC2), which you can download from the HMRC website.
If you’ve been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave you will need a doctor's note. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.
You may not need an appointment with the doctor. We only book appointments if you need advice or treatment.
