Questions, answered
Who reviews my application?
Your application is reviewed individually by a registered UK healthcare professional. This may be a doctor, pharmacist or another appropriately qualified practitioner, depending on the service, your needs and availability. Practitioners are registered with their relevant professional regulator, such as the General Medical Council or General Pharmaceutical Council. They work within their scope of practice and may decline a request if an online assessment or the requested letter is not appropriate.
What should I check before ordering?
Check what your employer requires before ordering. Provide the relevant illness or absence dates and supporting evidence requested by the reviewing healthcare professional.
Will my employer accept the letter?
Acceptance depends on your employer. A signed, QR-verifiable letter does not guarantee acceptance. Before ordering, check their requirements for the issuing professional, wording and supporting evidence.
Do I need this for the first 7 days of sickness?
In the UK, you can normally self-certify for the first 7 calendar days of sickness. Check what your employer needs before ordering a private letter.
Is this an NHS fit note?
Our workplace sickness letters are private medical certificates, not NHS Med3 fit notes. They are intended as evidence of sickness for your employer. Please check your employer’s requirements before ordering, as acceptance is not guaranteed. We do not issue certificates for Home Office, immigration or benefit claim purposes.
What if my request is declined?
You receive a full refund if the reviewing healthcare professional decides that issuing a letter would not be clinically suitable.
When will I receive my letter?
Check the delivery options above for your chosen service. If a delivery window is not listed, contact Home2Lab before ordering for a deadline. A letter is issued only after clinical review.
