Good to know
- A private sick note is independent medical evidence; it is not an NHS fit note (Med3) from your GP.
- You can usually self-certify for the first 7 days of sickness. Employers tend to ask for a note after that.
- Most employers accept private letters, but acceptance is always their decision, so check their policy.
- Letters are only issued where clinically appropriate. If we can't issue yours, you get a full refund.
Your questions, answered
Can I get a private sick note online?
Yes. Private sick notes are completed online after a GMC-registered doctor reviews your secure questionnaire and any supporting evidence. You do not need a face-to-face appointment unless the doctor needs more information.
How much does a private sick note cost?
A private sick note costs £45. A short certificate of incapacity is £49, fit-to-work and support-after-illness letters are £59, and workplace adjustment or medical evidence letters are £69. You see the exact price before you pay.
Is this the same as an NHS fit note?
No. An NHS fit note, or Med3, is issued by your GP or hospital team. A private sick note is independent medical evidence of your sickness absence, signed by a GMC-registered doctor. Most employers accept it, but acceptance is their decision.
How quickly will I receive my letter?
We aim to issue approved online letters the same day once all the required information is available. This is a target rather than a guarantee, so please send your request as early as you can.
Will I need a consultation?
Not usually. Most work and sickness letters are completed after the doctor reviews your questionnaire and evidence. A video or telephone consultation is only arranged if further clinical information is needed.
Can you write a workplace adjustment letter?
Yes. A workplace adjustment letter sets out the relevant health issues and the adjustments that may help you at work, such as changes to hours, duties, equipment or environment. It costs £69.
Can you confirm I am fit to return to work?
Yes, where clinically appropriate. A fit-to-work or return-to-work letter confirms you are well enough to go back after illness, injury, surgery or a period of absence, and can mention a phased return if that is suitable.
Will my employer accept the letter?
Acceptance depends on the receiving organisation's requirements, so please check your employer's or university's policy before ordering. Our letters are signed by GMC-registered doctors and may carry a unique Document ID and QR code for verification.
Can I get a note covering an earlier date?
Requests for a retrospective opinion are considered individually. We need adequate supporting evidence, and we cannot provide misleading certification.
What if the doctor can't issue my letter?
Then we refund the full service fee. Every letter needs a proper clinical review, and we only issue one where it is medically justified.
Can I use Prompt Medical if I'm not in Leicester?
Yes. Online sick notes and work letters are available across the UK. You do not need to visit our Leicester clinic.
Life won’t wait. Neither do we.
Every work and sickness letter, one clear price. Pick yours and we’ll take it from there.
