You do not require a doctor’s sickness certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less.
Your employer may however require you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer or on the HMRC website.
If you’re off work sick for more than 7 days, your employer will usually ask for a fit note (or Statement of Fitness for Work) from a GP or hospital doctor.
Fit notes are sometimes referred to as medical statements or a doctor’s note.
For further information on sick/fit notes click here.
The ‘fit note’ was introduced on 6 April 2010. With your employer’s support, the note will help you return to work sooner by providing more information about the effects of your illness or injury.
For more information see the DirectGov website (where this information was sourced).
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements.
For foreign travel immunisations please book an appointment with the Practice Nurse 4-6 weeks before travel.
This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
For foreign travel immunisations please book an appointment with the Practice Nurse 4-6 weeks before travel.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
 Europe & Russia |  North America |
 Central America |  South America |
 Caribbean |  Africa |
 Middle East |  Central Asia |
 East Asia |  Australasia and Pacific |
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible – at least 6 weeks before you travel – as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations.
These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine.
Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge.
This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.
