The UK’s SSP policy allows employees to obtain their sick note from GP online to approve sick leaves at work. However, users must use it responsibly and be explicit and specific about their symptoms, how long they have been sick, whether they have any chronic illnesses, and whether they are pregnant or breastfeeding.

You are asked to fill out a medical questionnaire form with all these details. You need to provide honest and accurate answers, no matter how trivial they might seem. The cruciality of these details stems from the need for a more personalised medical overview, the legitimacy of documentation and the interoperability of patient records.
