Patient Notice

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside has been informed that the landlords of Billinge Medical Practice intend to sell the building. We are working closely with the practice and NHS England to explore suitable future options and are committed to supporting the practice to ensure that primary care services are retained for its patients.

Any sale does not affect the operation of the practice, which continues to provide services as normal. We will share further updates as soon as more information becomes available.

Sick (fit) notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less

If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
