Can the GPs issue fit notes?

If it is clinically appropriate and if the service is available to you, the clinician can issue a private fit note. There is no charge for issuing private fit notes, but you will need to check with your employer to confirm that they will accept one. Private fit notes cannot be used to access state funded sick pay or benefits.
