Practices in the city have been receiving requests from patients for sick notes or letters for their employers, when the patient has been notified that they (or a member of the household) need to self-isolate for 14 days prior to elective admission to hospital. A sick note cannot be issued unless a patient is ill. We do recognise that these requests are coming in and we therefore advise:
- The admission letter from the hospital should be sufficient evidence for an employer.
- However, if your employer is insistent, you can print off this pre op isolation letter and hand it to your employer.
