Patients Name: Write in the name of the 'sick'
person, and delete the inappropriate title (Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms etc)
I assessed your case on: This is the date of your
visit to the doctor
and because of the following condition(s): enter the
illness/condition here, such as Influenza, Sciatica etc.
I advise you that: tick one of the boxes as
appropriate, either you are not fit for work, or you may be fir for
work taking account the following advice. If you use the second
option, then you may use the secondary options such as ticking the
box 'a phased return to work', or 'amended duties' ; if you use
these options you may use the comments section for advice such as:-
recommended part-time work, or no heavy lifting as appropriate.
The Doctors Stamp: sometimes contains a blank date
area, you put the date of the statement on this section.
Some doctors stamps, especially locum stamps, have an area within
the stamp called: Attending ; in the section, like in the sample
above, you simply put the initials of the practice or hospital where
the note was signed. E.g. If the note is written from Harley Street
Clinic, simply put the initials HSC in this section of the stamp. If
the note is written from Manchester University Hospital, simply put
in MUH in here.
This will be the case for: you can put in here 1 week,
2 weeks, 30 days etc
or you can specify the dates of the illness condition in the next
section or from:
Doctors Signature: sign the name of the stamp
Date of Statement: usually the date of assessment, but
not always
Doctors Address: Insert the address of the doctors
surgery or hospital etc.
