In the UK, it is quite legitimate now to get a GP medical certificate online to validate sick leaves. If you are an employee, you are entitled to 7 calendar days of sick leave in a row. But you can have a doctor's sick note for work in place of self-certification for greater credibility. For university students, on the other hand, there is no “7-day” window. The good news is that most universities now accept them. At Get Healthcare UK, you can easily get a doctor’s sick note for work or university within 24 hours—and within 4 hours with express services. Whether you’re down with the flu, a stress-related illness, or need a medical certificate for documentation, licensed GPs can assess your condition and issue the note digitally. Convenient, confidential, and recognised by employers, this service ensures you stay compliant while focusing on recovery. It’s simple, fast, and entirely legitimate.
