How it works
A private GP can issue a fit note in the same way your NHS GP can, and employers treat it the same way. You book a short appointment, the GP asks about your illness and how it affects your work, and if a note is appropriate it is issued there and then.
You don't need a fit note for the first 7 days off work - you self-certify. Come to us from day 8, or earlier if your employer insists on a note.
If your situation is better handled another way - a referral, or a letter to your employer about adjustments - the GP will say so rather than just selling you a note.
Cost and booking
The appointment takes 10-15 minutes and is usually available the same day, which matters when work needs the paperwork now. Ring 01482 766555 for the current price - it is agreed before you book.
Your questions, answered
- Do I actually need a sick note?
- You don't need a fit note for the first 7 days off work; you self-certify. Come to us from day 8, or earlier if your employer insists.
- How much does a private sick note cost?
- Ring 01482 766555 and reception will give you the exact price before you book; there is no consultation fee on top.
- Can I get one today?
- Usually, yes. The appointment takes 10 to 15 minutes and is normally available the same day, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
- Will my employer accept a private fit note?
- Yes. A private GP can issue a fit note in the same way your NHS GP can, and employers treat it the same way.
- What happens in the appointment?
- The GP asks about your illness and how it affects your work, and if a note is appropriate it is issued there and then. If your situation is better handled another way, such as a referral or a letter to your employer about adjustments, the GP will say so rather than just selling you a note.
- Do I need to be registered with you?
- No. You do not need a referral or to register, and you keep your NHS GP.
