Ever wondered what happens during those 24 hours? Here’s our professional process. Transparent explanation of our comprehensive medical review methodology demonstrates why quality assessment takes time.
Professional medical certification requires thorough evaluation, not quick form-filling, and our 24-hour timeline ensures proper clinical standards.
📋 Professional Assessment Standards
GMC guidelines compliance shapes every aspect of our medical review process. General Medical Council standards for remote consultations, medical certification, and professional conduct guide all our procedures.
Medical history evaluation considers your complete health background, not just current symptoms. Previous conditions, treatments, medications, and health patterns all influence appropriate certification decisions.
Symptom pattern analysis helps doctors understand how your condition affects work capability. Clinical experience in pattern recognition ensures accurate assessment of functional limitations and recovery timeframes.
Risk factor consideration includes workplace safety, medication effects, and condition progression possibilities. Comprehensive risk assessment ensures appropriate certification that protects both your health and employment.

⏰ Why 24 Hours Matters
Thorough case review time allows doctors to consider all aspects of your health situation properly. Rushing medical decisions serves nobody’s interests and may result in inappropriate certification or missed health concerns.
Multiple doctor consultation occurs when cases require specialist input or second opinions. Complex conditions or unusual presentations may benefit from collegial discussion before final certification decisions.
Quality assurance checks verify every sick note meets professional standards before issue. Document review, legal compliance checking, and formatting verification all require dedicated time and attention.
Legal compliance verification ensures every certificate meets UK employment law and medical council requirements. Professional certification carries legal responsibilities that require careful attention to regulatory compliance.
