If you have been ill for 7 days or less you don’t need to see a Doctor. You can complete a Self-Certification form yourself. Most employers have their own self-certification forms. However, some employers insist on a Doctor’s note regardless. A Doctors note under these circumstances involves a charge of £10.

For a Fit Note for sickness lasting more than 7 days, an appointment must be made via Anima. If you subsequently require an additional sick note you can request this as an Admin request on Anima.
