Your questions answered
How do I get a Fit-to-work certificate?
You can get a same-day Fit-to-work medical certificate from ZoomDoc with no appointment required.
Fit-to-work certificates allow you to return to work after a period of illness, particularly when you have been signed off work by a doctor or healthcare professional. ZoomDoc provides the fastest way to obtain Fit-to-work certificates without the need to wait for an in person appointment with your doctor or GP, which is a particularly important service if your permitted paid-sick days are about to run out, allowing you to return to work quicker than waiting for a traditional appointment.
What information and medical evidence do you require from me?
After purchase, you will receive a unique certificate booking reference number, which will allow you to upload your medical evidence via a simple form.
To allow us to assess your condition and issue a medical certificate, we will require the following information:
- A photo of your passport, driving license or workplace ID
- Your completed online medical form
- Your medical health summary
- A 30-second to 1-minute video describing any recent illness and your current health condition
- The name of your workplace and the type of work you do
- Details of your regular Doctor (if you have one)
Can I Self Certify as Fit-to-work?
If you have been off sick for up to 7 days then you can simply inform your employer that you are fit to work again. This method does not require confirmation or medical evidence from a doctor, and is usually the most appropriate method of returning to work from a brief period of illness. This 7 day period includes every calendar day, and not just the days you would normally work.
If you have been off work for more than 7 days then your employer will likely request a fit note or statement of fitness from your doctor or other medical professional.
Are there any job roles that you are unable to provide Fit-to-work certificates for?
Please note that our innovative online service to provide fit-to-work certificates can only be provided for workplace roles that are deemed low risk.
A role with increased potential dangers will require a face-to-face assessment with a medical practitioner to check your heart, lungs and blood pressure, and to arrange eye and visual checks. Some of the roles for which we cannot provide fit-to-work notes include:
- Any driving roles
- Motorsports drivers
- HGV and bus drivers
- Taxi drivers, forklift drivers and ambulance drivers
- Crane operators
- Working at heights and scaffolding
- Nursing or midwifery applications
You can contact our expert team today if you are unsure whether you can receive a fit for work medical certificate from ZoomDoc. We also offer a full refund service if we cannot provide a certificate for any reason.
Please note: ZoomDoc Health is a private UK doctor service – the medical certificates we provide are not the same as NHS Med3 Fit Notes, which are only available from healthcare professionals delivering NHS services.
Who signs the certificate and how do I know it’s legitimate?
Once your medical evidence has been checked your certificate will be authorised and signed by one of our selected Doctors.
All our doctors are UK GPs registered with the GMC (General Medical Council) and the FCDO (Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office).
Zoomdoc Health is an authorised medical provider regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Our contact details will be shown on your certificate with a QR code enabling a verification check of your certificate.
How long is this medical certificate valid?
Our fit-to-work note expires 90 days after the date of issue.
What happens if you cannot validate my medical evidence?
Our doctors thoroughly review your medical evidence and may call you if they have any questions.
If for any reason, we are unable to validate your evidence or are unable to supply you with you a certificate you will be notified and given a full refund.
Can I use this when working internationally for United Nations, WFP and WHO?
The ZoomDoc Fit to Work Medical Certificate supports United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) employees as part of pre-employment checks before working in international settings. This certification helps maintain high standards of workplace health, supports disease prevention, and ensures compliance with global health guidelines and regulations set by these organisations.
