Trying to get a sick line from my GP

Trying to get a sick line from my GP after having heart stent

I feel things could be made easier at a time when I am supposed to be stress free, my GP says I need to get a sick line from the hospital ( who will only give a sick line for the time in hospital ). My work needs a line for any and all time I am not fit for work, So why can't my own Gp do this service and how do I get this issue fixed.

Dear DavieNich

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on Care Opinion. I was so sorry to read of the difficulties you have encountered in relation to obtaining a medical certificate from your GP. I can appreciate how stressful this must be for you at present, given your current health condition.

Please be advised that GP’s are independent contractors and are responsible for investigating and responding to any concerns a person may have about their service; they are not registered to respond directly to feedback through Care Opinion. I'd invite you to contact the Practice Manager at your GP practice if you'd like a direct response about the service you experienced.

Best wishes

Lesley
