A simpler digital front door
Spend less time searching the website
Appointments, prescriptions, blood tests, fit notes, registration and record updates are grouped by patient task rather than hidden across separate pages.
Sick and fit notes
One question gives patients the right route
The current download can become a guided journey, while keeping the important distinction between self-certification and a GP fit note.
7 days or less
Self-certify for your employer
You do not need a GP fit note. Complete a self-certification form and give it directly to your employer.
More than 7 days
Request a fit note online
Use a short, accessible practice form to provide the information the team needs. This replaces searching for a download or guessing which service to use.
Online forms and requests
Everything patients can complete online
A single home for practice forms prevents useful services disappearing into news items, menu layers or unrelated pages.
Every form has an approved destination, response time and named practice owner.
A simple guide
Which online service should I use?
The final labels and destinations should be confirmed with the practice before launch.
