For the first 7 days of an illness you simply complete your own self certificate form (SC1 SC2) which can be obtained from your work place or from reception at the surgery.

If your work requires a doctor?s certificate for the first 7 days of an illness this is nothing to do with the NHS and a standard charge applies, currently ?13 for a private certificate.

If you are going into hospital for a routine operation, or attend casualty and obviously have to be signed off for a certain period of time the hospital doctor can give you a certificate at that time. There is no need to attend the surgery for a certificate.

Summary
 
Days 1-7 of illness Self certify (SC1 from your work place)
or private certificate (from surgery ?13)
   
After Day 7 Certificate from Hospital if attending
or Certificate from surgery
