How can we help?
How our app works
General
Yes, a NextGen GP can give you a sickness certificate following a consultation if appropriate.
Please note that in common with other private providers, NextGen sick notes are not valid for social security or statutory sick pay purposes. Only a patient’s own NHS GP can issue NHS Fit Notes which are acceptable for such purposes.

Should you have any questions about this please contact our support team.

However, if you would like to see the same GP for your next appointment, you can discuss and organise this with the GP while you are having the initial consultation.
