About this medical letter
University, college and school sickness letter
If you have been sick, or you have a health condition that has affected or may affect your studies, your university, college or school will require a sickness letter as evidence of mitigating circumstances.
Our doctors can provide you with a same-day medical letter that will confirm your health condition and related absences, as well as whether this condition is ongoing or resolved. No appointment is needed – simply apply online.
What will I receive?
You will receive a verifiable digital PDF letter signed by a medical professional and sent directly to your mobile, containing the following details:
- Your name, date of birth and details of your university, college or school.
- Your sickness or health condition and its impact on your studies.
- When symptoms started, if they are ongoing or if you are now recovered.
- Signature and authorisation by one of our GMC-registered UK doctors.
- Contact details of ZoomDoc Health with a QR code enabling a verification check.

Following the purchase of your university, college or school sickness letter, you will be asked to complete a short online form. This includes uploading a 30-second to 1-minute video to explain your symptoms.
Your evidence is then reviewed by our doctors, prior to issuing you with your medical letter. If our doctors have any further questions, they may give you a quick call.

Easy to use service
I used ZoomDoc for a medical university letter. The service was very easy to use. I filled out the questionnaire, recorded and uploaded a video from my phone explaining my circumstances and why I needed a letter. I provided a copy of my university ID. A few hours later I received a signed medical letter. It was accepted by my University, so I was happy.

Straightfoward
Purchased the service for a letter required by my university as my GP told me I'd have to wait 6 weeks. The process was straightforward and I received my letter on the same day.

Highly recommended
I'm not going to lie, I was definitely sceptical. I got my letter in around 40 minutes and it was accepted perfectly by my university and was cheaper than a letter from my normal GP. I'd definitely recommend this service to anyone.

Quick and efficient service for...
Quick and efficient service for university letter, produced in the same day after a short video explaining symptoms and upload of medical evidence. Glad I learnt about ZoomDoc as my GP's turnaround for a private letter was 2 weeks and ZoomDoc managed to sort it out for me ASAP. All in all a great device and would definitely recommend for letters at short notice.
