Patient update – intermittent faults with the phone lines

Our phone lines are currently experiencing intermittent faults. You may have difficulty getting through. We’re working with our phone provider to resolve this. Thank you for your patience.

Sick (fit) notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

  • use the Accurx service
  • phone us on Moss Grove Surgery (Kingswinford) 01384 277377 or Moss Grove Surgery (Kinver) 01384 277377 or visit the surgery from 10am to 6pm

If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less

If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
