Sick notes for work — the practical version
In Ireland, employers often ask for a sick note or medical certificate when you cannot attend work. GPLine provides secure video GP consultations — sick notes are issued only where clinically appropriate after assessment.
Sick note vs sick cert
Patients and employers use both terms. GPLine issues a formal medical certificate (PDF) from an IMC-registered GP after a video consultation when appropriate.
