Please note that you do not require a doctor's sick note for absences from work of less than seven days. Your employer is legally obliged to accept self certificates for these short periods of absence from work.
Please consult the government website which gives information about fitness for work certification below and a downloadable self certificate.

Providing certification for short periods of absence from work is a non-NHS service and will be charged. If your employer is demanding a sick note despite the government advice, please ask them to write to us explaining why they require certification and we will charge them accordingly for the service.
