There has been some important changes made on how to request MED3/Sickness Certificates/Fit Notes from your GP (Effective from 05/02/2025).  Please see the following for more information.

Med3/Sickness Certificates/Fit Notes must now be requested via the eConsult system in the first instance.  This is so that your requests are sent to the most appropriate agent, tracked more efficiently, and dealt with in a timelier manner.  We frequently thrive to develop new processes to alleviate the enormous pressures the NHS continues to face.

However, if you already have an appointment booked with your GP then you will also have the option to request a Med3/Sickness Certificate/Fit Note during your consultation if you wish.

Med3/Sickness Certificates/Fit Notes can no longer be requested via handwritten forms or via the post.  Please speak to a member of the Reception Team on 01843 209300 if you require further clarification.
