Sick Notes and Fit Notes

Important points:

• Sick notes are now called Fit notes
• GP’s are monitored on how they issue Fit notes and need to make sure people are genuinely not able to work
• Dealing with inappropriate sick note requests takes up a lot of time which would be better used seeing people who are unwell
