Measles: If you think you or your child has measles and are not in an urgent, life-threatening condition, please call NHS 111 or your GP for advice. Please refrain from visiting a healthcare setting unless it is necessary or advised, as measles is a highly contagious infection that can cause serious health problems for some people. A patient information leaflet is available here. Further information and guidance is available here.
To request a sick note:
If you are off work sick for seven days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you have been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you have 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.
