Can you provide a backdated sick note?

Our doctors can backdate a sick note (also known as a fit note) for up to 2 weeks. A sick note can sign you off work for up to 2 weeks.

A fit note is a document that can be provided to your employer if you are unable to work or can work within set limits due to a condition. We do not provide or complete any other documentation (e.g. fitness to work / fit to fly / travel insurance/fit-notes for non-work purposes).

Fit notes provided by any private provider within the UK are not legally enforceable meaning that your employer can refuse to accept it, if you wish to receive a fit note you do so understanding the above and that no refund will be offered.

Can you provide a sick note for court?

Will my employer or educational institution accept your sick notes?

Our sick notes are just like the ones you would receive from your regular GP. They contain all the information needed by your employer or institution, including details of the issuing GP and their GMC (General Medical Council) number.

We also provide verification codes that can be used by your employer or institution to check the originality of sick notes by phone. This means you won't have to do anything else after you've given it to them.
