Sickness Certification Self-certificates should be obtained from your work place or they can be downloaded from http://www.hmrc.gov.uk /forms/sc2.pdf . Only if a period of sickness absence lasts longer than seven days does your employer require a doctor’s certificate. For periods less than seven days you may request a private certificate, but a charge is made for this. If you are being seen by a hospital consultant you don't need to make an appointment with a GP to acquire a sick note, just ask during your hospital appointment.
Out of Hours For urgent access to a doctor out of surgery opening hours please use the out of hours service that is provided by Anglian Medical Care (Tel: 01603 488488)
