Sick Notes
Doctor's Sick Notes
Your workplace or college may request a fit note if you have taken sick leave or had some days off sick. These can be issued by our doctors. Common reasons include illness, stress or depression.
Fit notes are also sometimes called sick notes, doctor's notes, fitness for work forms or Med3 certificates. For other occasions they can also write you a custom doctor's letter.
Just as importantly, your doctor will be able to examine you and provide appropriate advice and medication to help you start feeling better as quickly as possible.
Our doctors may potentially be able to issue these from a telephone consultation, but we would advise that you make an in-clinic appointment if you require one of these forms.
With 8 clinics across London, getting a sick note with DocTap is even easier than searching for an online sick note.
How to get a sick note
- Book an appointment online and ask the doctor for a sick note during your consultation.
- Provided that they agree that you are not fit for work then they will give it to you during the appointment.
- There is no additional charge for a sick note or doctor's letter.
- With 8 clinics across London and same day appointments it is even easier than searching for an online sick note.

Doctap- the original and still by far the best…
Friday, April 19, 2024
I would like to give feedback on the GP who saw me today, he gave a brilliant service. He listened carefully to my responses and answered all my questions thoroughly without making me feel rushed or patronised. I felt like there was a clear care plan, and that my concerns were taken seriously. He took great care when taking my bloods, which was greatly appreciated! I would definitely recommend and would definitely come back here.

Dr. Stevenson was very helpful and timely in his response to my inquiry. During our telephone consultation he spent more time with me than I expected. I would definitely seek help from Dr. Stevensob should the need arise.

Dr. Becker has been understating and extremely helpful. After trying to book various appointments with my normal NHS GP and once again being unable to get the appointments.

Can't recommend this place enough. Dr Ayomide Noah was fantastic. Thorough, meticulous, professional. So glad I found her. Getting an appointment was simple and I was seen the same morning. The pharmacy staff was helpful and professional. Wait time was short and the whole visit from check-in to check-out was only 45- minutes. My wife and I are visiting from the USA and, of course, I had the nerve to get pneumonia. So if you're a tourist and need immediate medical care, this is it.

By far the best doctors appointment I have had. Saqib Sayed made me feel much better about my situation, he was extremely comforting and gave an in depth assessment/ explanation while articulating his thoughts. Will not see another doctor while here in London. Thank you!
Monday, April 8, 2024
Spent over an hour on hold this morning with my own local surgery. Doubtless, even if i had got through they would have offered me an appointment in a couple of weeks time. Eventually gave up. Discovered DocTap, took literally 1 minute to book and appointment online for this afternoon. My first time going private. Conveniently located 20 mins from where i live. Doctap office was clean and professional. Staff lovely and Doctor efficient and competant. Made me feel very welcome. Got sorted and issued with a prescription on site. Done in 15 mins. Goes against all my principals but Brillaint service. Like most, I only really need to access a doctor once or twice a year. So for the price and peace of mind would 100% recommend these guys.

I have seen Dr Noah once 2 years ago and was impressed how thorough she is. I wanted a general check up this time and wouldn't go anywhere else. As for DocTap, the process is easy and straightforward. A great advantage is being able to see someone straightaway when needed, because even with other private clinics it is sometimes awfully difficult to get an appointment.

Quick and efficient process with an attentive doctor that listened and understood the ailments being described, and effectively and clearly explained a course of treatment to help. The premises in Clapham are great. They're clean and modern, but the only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5, is that three flights of stairs with chronic lower back pain is a real struggle! Otherwise the staff, check in process and treatment were all first class!
Thursday, February 22, 2024
Thank you. It was very helpful speaking with you today. Listening, empathy, asking questions, guidance and support all top!

Doctors note for work
Your sick note will include the following information for your work:
- A summary of the medical condition that has given rise to the need for a sick note.
- Whether or not you are fit to work.
- Whether you may benefit from alterations to your working environment such as a phased return to work, alter hours, amended duties or workplace adaptations.
- The dates that the sick note covers.
- Whether or not you will need to be re-assessed at the end of this period.
Your workplace can verify the validity of your sick note directly with DocTap should they wish to.
Book an appointment nowBeing ill is bad enough, but having to jump through hoops just to get a sick note for work makes the whole experience even worse. Our doctors understand this and can quickly issue you with your sick note so that you can worry about getting better.
