The Department of Work and Pensions is introducing a new sick note that will replace previous sicknotes.  This new sick note is called "Statement of Fitness for Work".

 

For more information on this new sick note click here.  If you would like to see what this new note will look like click here.

 

If you are an employer and would like more information please click here.

 

Please note that sick notes are ONLY required after an absence of 7 calendar days.  This is clearly stated in the new guidance for employers and remains unchanged.  If you require a certificate for a period less than seven days then the surgery will charge for a private sickness certificate.

The NHS is changing the way it stores and manages your health records.

You will have a summary care record, which will be available to people providing you with care anywhere in England. This will help to ensure that NHS staff treating you have essential information about you. This will mean that your doctors and nurses, together with you, will be able to make informed decisions about your care. As a patient you have options regarding the creation of your summary care record.

For more information:

Ask for a leaflet at your GP surgery
