University, college and school sickness letter
If you have been sick, or you have a health condition that has affected or may affect your studies, your university, college or school will require a sickness letter as evidence of mitigating circumstances.
Our UK NHS GPs can provide you with a same-day medical letter that will confirm your health condition and related absences, as well as whether this condition is ongoing or resolved. No appointment is needed – simply apply online.
What will I receive?
You will receive a verifiable digital PDF letter signed by a medical professional and sent directly to your mobile, containing the following details:
Your name, date of birth and details of your university, college or school.
Your sickness or health condition and its impact on your studies.
When symptoms started, if they are ongoing or if you are now recovered.
Signature and authorisation by one of our GMC-registered UK doctors.

Some of our doctors
"We’ve made it simpler for students to obtain medical letters for proof of illness or medical conditions. Our team of doctors have individually assessed and issued thousands of letters to students in the UK and abroad, often providing follow-up calls and advice to support them with a quicker recovery.
Students shouldn’t be penalised for ill health. A simple doctor’s note can confirm to universities and colleges that your performance was affected by a medical issue."
