Yes. Sick notes issued through Hola Health UK are written and signed by GMC-registered online doctors. This means they have the same legal standing as a private sick note from an in-person GP. 

  • They are issued following a proper video consult and clinical assessment.  
  • They are issued in a format that meets the standard requirements of most schools and employers. 
  • They can be shared digitally by email. 

However, each company has its own protocols or paperwork requirements. It’s a good idea to check with your employer about their specific sick note policies. 

Note: Hola UK is a private service, not an NHS provider.
