People often mistakenly believe that a GP medical certificate for sick leave serves as a "free pass" to take time off work. Be aware that this is an official document that verifies your illness and inability to work. Misuse of a medical doctors note could attract disciplinary action or even termination. So know your limitations and use this document responsibly.


Get Healthcare is a trusted telehealth platform that works towards legitimising and regulating their GP medical certificate standards, as per the SSP guidelines in the UK. Signed by GMC-registered, highly qualified GPs, the telehealth platform has implemented streamlined touchpoints to fully apprise your symptoms and conditions. The doctor's judgement is based on medical facts and direct communication with the patient.


Stay transparent with your employer and follow the proper protocol to avoid complications. A medical certificate is a responsibility, not a loophole. Stay informed and stay professional!
