Introduction of the Fit-Note

The new fit-note will be introduced on 6 April 2010

The DWP have produced guidance on it which contains a sample copy of the fit-note.

You can find out more about what is changing, what stays the same, and how the change is designed to benefit doctors and patients on the DWP website: http://www.dwp.gov.uk/healthcare-professional/news/statement-of-fitness-for-work.shtml and there is also separate information for employers and individuals on the main Fitnote part of the site (below).
