Obtain a sick lineA self certificate will cover you for the first 7 days and this certificate can be obtained from reception. Your employer must accept this by law. If you require a sick line for more than 7 days you will be required to make an appointment with a GP.
Obtain my resultsMost results can be obtained by telephoning the surgery in the afternoon and asking the receptionist for your result. All results are checked by a GP. The GP will decide whether they are happy for the result to be given out by the receptionist. If the GP feels that he would prefer to discuss your results with you, the receptionist will ask you to make an appointment.
