The first week

If you are off work for up to 1 week you do not need a medical note from your doctor. You should 'self certify' using a form (SC2) that you should be able to obtain from your employer. Alternatively you can obtain one from the Benefits Agency.

Unfortunately some employers are insisting on a medical note from the patient's doctor for less than one week's absence from work. If you need a medical note in these circumstances, the doctor will charge a fee for a private certificate. Reception staff will be able to tell you how much this will cost.

After the first week

If you have been off work for more than a week you will need a sick note from your doctor. You can obtain this by contacting reception for an appointment.
