Home visits are suitable for some patients but are not needed in most cases.

We will assess your request to make sure it is necessary.

Fit notes (Sickness certificates)

If you have been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave you must give your employer a fit note. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.

A fit note is sometimes called a 'sick note' or 'sickness certificate'.
