The UK SSP policy now recognises a digital fit-to-work medical certificate as legitimate documentation for returning to work after a sick period extending 7 calendar days. Many employees assume they must endure long GP waiting lists to get medical clearance before returning to their jobs. However, under UK regulations, telehealth documents are fully valid now. As an employee, you just need to ensure that you only obtain your online fit-to-work certificate in the UK from a GMC-recognised GP or a telehealthcare platform that is backed by a registered GP. Whether you require a phased return, amended duties, or full clearance, a digital fit-to-work medical certificate carries the exact same legal weight as a traditional paper note. You can bypass the clinic entirely and secure your workplace compliance from the comfort of your home.
