SICKNESS CERTIFICATES – THE LAW
For periods of sickness between one to three days – you do not need a certificate. For periods of sickness of four to six days – your employer may require you to complete a Self-certification Form SC2 which is available from your employer or the DSS.
For illness longer than six days – you will need to see a doctor for them to issue a sickness certificate Med3 and you will need to see them for any subsequent renewal of the certificate.
NON NHS SERVICES –FORMS REPORTS OR EXAMINATION
Fees are always payable for medical services not covered by the NHS. This applies particularly to completion of forms, reports and examination requested by organizations outside the NHS. A list of services and charges is displayed on the notice board in the main waiting room. These fees follow BMA recommendations.
