New Online Consultation Platform called Anima from 4th December 2024

We are pleased to announce an update to the way our patients will request appointments and keep up-to date with their medical records. We have introduced a new system called, Anima.

Anima is a healthcare platform that helps organisations improve patient care. It allows patients to request GP appointments, track their requests, messages from the practice and more.

Sick (fit) notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

  • use the Anima service
  • phone us on Colne Medical Centre 01206 302522 or Alresford Branch Surgery 01206 302522 or visit the surgery from 10am to 6pm

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.
