Pressures on doctors and GPs should be reduced as an updated law on fit notes came into place from July 2022. This change allows the most relevant healthcare professional to issue fit notes in addition to doctors.

More health practitioners across England, Scotland and Wales can now issue fit notes including nurses, occupational therapists, pharmacists and physiotherapists. This updated law alongside the introduction of the digital fit note in April 2022 should allow for a more streamlined process.
