Why Patients Choose The Vesey for Sick Note from a Private GP in Birmingham
A private GP can issue a sick note (fit note) the same day when you're unwell and unable to work. For absences of more than 7 days your employer can ask for a fit note; a private GP can provide one without waiting for an NHS appointment.
The note follows the standard format employers recognise and can state whether you're unfit for work or could return with adjustments.
What a Fit Note Covers
After assessing you, the GP can issue a fit note stating you're not fit for work, or 'may be fit' with suggested adjustments (such as altered hours or duties), and for how long. It's the same statement of fitness for work used across the UK.
The GP can only certify based on a genuine clinical assessment of your condition.
When You Might Need One
Commonly for an illness or injury keeping you off work beyond 7 days, or when you need documentation sooner than your NHS GP can provide it. We can also help with related letters where clinically appropriate.
Bring details of your employer's requirements if there are specific wording needs.
