Hi Janet
The following link may be of help - the guidance for GP's on this aspect of the patient presentation comes under the 'additional questions' section.
Hope will be of help.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] fit note reasons
Hi folks
I have come across 2 fit notes today that have really astounded me and wondered anyone else's thoughts and how these can be addressed
2 different surgeries
- 4 weeks not fit - caring for mother followed by another 2 weeks not fit - caring for mother
- 2 weeks not fit - marital problems
HR have rung to query the notes and were told that the surgery couldn;t discuss due to data protection
any thoughts??
Janet
