Sick notes

To request a sick note:

• fill out a sick note request form
• phone or visit the surgery from 9am to 5pm

If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS Inform.

The practice is now able to email your fit-note/sick-line to your personal email address.  Once you have spoken to the GP and a fit-note/sick-line has been agreed, please send a request for a copy to GGC.GP40629clinical@nhs.scot and our admin team will be happy to reply with the fit-note/sick-line attached. 

Please note fit-note/sick-lines will not be arranged through this service,  you must speak to your GP in a routine appointment beforehand to arrange and agree.  GP's will not consult with patient's via email.  Any questions please call the practice and our admin team will be happy to discuss.
