What is a fit to work certificate?

Fit-to-work certificates verify your ability to perform your work duties. Most workplaces require a fit-to-work certificate or fit note either when you are joining as a new employee or when you are getting back to work after recovering from an illness or health issue. An employee’s fitness to work medical acts as an official assessment to reassure your employer that your health is on the mend and does not affect your work or other employees at work any further. If you are undergoing a partial recovery, this fit note to work can act as a guide for your employer on allocating duties on a gradual basis. Connect with a GMC-registered GP and request a fit-to-work certificate within minutes from the comfort of your home today.

What our patients say

Great service, so easy to use. Sometimes you are just sick with a head cold or flu and need a day off but also not well enough to drive yourself to the doctor and sit and wait for hours, just to be told you have a virus and need bed rest. This is a stress free way of getting the rest you need to get well while providing your work place or school with the necessary documentation.

Quick and easy doctor's appointments. If you don't want to wait for a doctor in a medical centre for long periods of time for something that you know just needs rest, I highly recommend this alternative.

This GP service is the greatest. Quick, easy, effective and cheap. No making appointments or queues, no waiting, no expensive up front fees, the documentation you need for your day when you want it. I wish the rest of life was like Hola!
