Description

The eMED3 Fit Note, formally known as a Statement of Fitness to Work, was introduced in April 2010 across England, Wales and Scotland.  It enables CARE PROFESSIONALS  such as CONSULTANTS  and GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS  to give advice to their PATIENTS  about the impact of their health condition on their fitness for work and is used to provide medical evidence for employers or to support a claim to health-related benefits through the Department for Work and Pensions.

An eMED3 Fit Note  is issued after the first 7 days of sickness absence (when PATIENTS  can self-certify) if the CARE PROFESSIONAL  assesses that the PATIENT s health affects their fitness to work.  The CARE PROFESSIONAL  may decide that the PATIENT  is unfit for work, or may be fit for work subject to certain conditions, with accompanying notes on suggested adjustments or adaptations to the job role or the workplace.
