Get Your Student Sick Note Today

Yes. UK universities accept medical certificates from any GMC-registered doctor - not just your GP or university health service. Our certificates include the doctor's full GMC registration number which universities can verify directly with the General Medical Council. FastDoc certificates meet all standard requirements for Student Services departments, examination boards, and academic administrators across UK universities and colleges.

Delivery speed is selected at checkout. Standard service delivers your certificate same day. If you need it urgently, our premium service delivers in as little as 30 minutes. Once issued by one of our GMC-registered doctors following clinical review, your certificate is sent directly to your email as a PDF.

Students use sick notes for: proving absence from lectures, seminars, or tutorials; supporting academic administrative applications; explaining missed placement or practical sessions; and documenting illness affecting group project participation. Each university has its own specific policies about what medical evidence they require - check with your Student Services or academic administrator to confirm their requirements.

FastDoc is designed for situations where getting a GP appointment or visiting student health services is not possible or practical. Our GMC-registered doctors assess your case remotely based on the information you provide. All requests are subject to independent clinical review and documentation is issued only where clinically appropriate.

You will need: your personal details (name, date of birth, university/college), details of your illness or medical condition, the dates you were unwell and unable to attend or complete work, and what you need the sick note for. You do not need to provide previous GP letters or medical records - just a clear explanation of your situation.

Our doctors can issue certificates for mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health difficulties affecting your ability to study or attend university. The certificate will confirm that you were experiencing health difficulties during the specified period without disclosing specific diagnostic details unless you request this. Mental health is treated with the same clinical seriousness as physical health conditions. All requests are subject to clinical review.

Doctors can only issue certificates for periods when they have assessed you were genuinely unwell. If you were ill but unable to seek medical attention at the time, explain this clearly in your submission. Our doctors will assess whether retrospective certification is clinically appropriate based on the information you provide about your illness and circumstances. Documentation is not guaranteed.

Absolutely. Your medical information is encrypted, securely stored, and only accessed by the doctor reviewing your case. We are fully GDPR compliant and never share your information with third parties without your explicit consent. Your university will only see the information contained in the certificate itself.
