Patient Notice

Following the landlords’ decision to sell the current building, a review of suitable future premises options for Billinge Medical Practice has now been completed and a proposal approved to relocate practice services to the first floor of Garswood Health Centre.

Garswood Health Centre is a high standard, purpose-built facility, and this relocation will enable Billinge Medical Practice to continue to provide high levels of service for patients.

We have written to patients to confirm this decision and to outline next steps. We remain committed to working with NHS Cheshire and Merseyside to ensure that patients are engaged and supported in relation to this relocation.

We would like to thank patients for their understanding during this process.

For more information, please the Patient Letter and FAQs.

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.
