GP Sickness Note
If you have been unwell or have a health condition that requires medical evidence, our UK-based NHS GPs can issue a private GP sickness certificate within hours.
After completing a quick online questionnaire and uploading a short video explaining your symptoms, one of our GMC-registered doctors will review your case on the same day. If appropriate, they will issue a verified digital sickness note confirming your condition, symptoms, and whether your illness is ongoing or resolved.
Once your certificate is issued, our doctors will also provide personalised health advice to support your recovery.
Every sickness note is a verifiable, doctor-signed PDF that contains:
Your name, date of birth & workplace
Your illness or medical condition
When symptoms started and whether they are ongoing or resolved
Up to 7 days of authorised sickness leave
Signature of a GMC-registered UK GP
Secure QR code for instant employer verification
