📊 Blood pressure machine 📊

We have a self service blood pressure machine in our waiting room. No appointment is necessary. Available for use by our patients whenever we are open.

You may be asked to measure your own blood pressure as part of a medication or annual review.

Just fill in the form with your readings and hand it into reception afterwards. If your readings are raised, we may ask you to complete a week of readings for an average. We have a waiting list for our machines that can be borrowed so we do recommend patients purchase their own machine.

📝Fit Note/Sick Note Requests📝

We receive lots of queries and requests for sick notes and thought we'd share some more information.

Fit notes, commonly referred to as sick notes or MED3's are issued by a registered healthcare professional giving their medical opinion on a person's fitness for work. They can only be issued after 7 days of absence. For absences less than 7 calendar days, employees can self-certify their own absence without providing medical evidence.

We ask that patients submit requests via our eConsult platform with sufficient information about your condition including why the fit note may be required and dates needed.

Are generally only issued where you have been assessed or treated for this condition by the practice, hospital or have discussed it with a GP in the recent past.

Can be back dated by healthcare professionals. Employees should explain to their employers if there is a delay in obtaining a fit note in cases where a routine appointment is required to discuss.

Requesting a fit note does not initiate a medical consultation and if you need help for this condition or need to speak to a clinician you will need to book a routine appointment or call for triage (8.30am - 10am) if more urgent help is needed.

If you feel better you can go back to work before the fit note ends. GP's do not have to provide confirmation that you are fit to work.

Find out how to get a fit note (sometimes called a sick note) if you're unwell and cannot work for 7 days or more.
