Other Information
Did You Know...?
You do not need a sick note if you are off work for less than seven days. You can self-certify - contact your personnel office at work for details.
You do not always need an appointment with your GP for advice on coughs and colds and other minor health problems. You can speak to or see the practice nurse or your local pharmacist instead.
