Importance of Capping Digital Sick Notes for Work Sick Leave

Welcome back to the Get Healthcare podcast. Regular users of our platform come back to us asking about our "caps,” which limit how many times one can generate a GP medical certificate online. Why do we have this limitation? Today's podcast addresses this query in more detail.

Getting a digital medical doctors note online in UK is the most convenient when you get it at Get Healthcare. As you are unwell, the facility to obtain the official document without travelling or visiting your GP in person gives you more time to rest and recuperate. However, you must know that you can obtain only one online medical certificate in 7-8 days. And only 2 certificates in 30 days.

Firstly, digital sick notes are designed for genuine short-term illnesses. They're not meant to replace long-term health management. If someone has recurring health issues, they must see a doctor in person for a thorough assessment. Secondly, limiting the use helps prevent misuse. Capping the use ensures fair practices and encourages accountability.
