Will my university accept an online medical certificate?
Most UK universities accept medical evidence signed by a GMC registered doctor - the certificate shows the doctor's name and GMC number and carries a unique reference your university can ask us to verify. Check your university's extenuating circumstances policy for any specific requirements.
How quickly can I get it? My deadline is soon.
Priority requests are completed within 24 hours or your money back, and are often much faster. Standard requests are completed within 3 business days or your money back.
What does the certificate say?
It confirms that a GMC registered doctor assessed you, the condition you reported, and the dates you were affected - the evidence most extenuating circumstances panels ask for.
Can the certificate cover days before my consultation?
Certificates start from the day of your consultation onwards and can cover up to two weeks. If your university needs evidence for an earlier period, speak to your GP practice, which holds your medical record.
Not sure whether you need a certificate at all?
If you have been off work for seven days or fewer you can usually self-certify for free. Our plain-English guide covers the NHS route, the online route, and what employers can ask for.
