Sick leave guidance
Recent changes have been made to allow you to self certify for the first 28 days of any illness (previously this was 7 days).
This means that you do not need to contact your GP Surgery for a sick note; however, if your employer is insisting on a note, please share the link below.
This change has been made to allow health professionals to focus on our most vulnerable patients whilst assisting with COVID vaccinations.
Non-urgent advice: Patient Notice
If you started your sick leave before 10 December 2021, you must provide proof that you’ve been ill for more than 7 days.
