You only need a doctor’s note if you are unable to work and are ill for longer than seven calendar days. Your employer will provide you with an SC2 self-certificate form for shorter periods of illness. Sick certificates/lines can only be backdated, not forward dated.
You should now request your line by submitting a request on askmyGP. Your request will be passed to our GPs to be completed the next working morning. Click the askmyGP logo on our website homepage to get started.
