Take routine Med3 demand off your clinicians
Fit-note (Med3) requests are steady, predictable and time-consuming — and every one that lands on a GP's list is an appointment a patient with a clinical need could have used. NovaClinic runs a dedicated daily fit-note clinic with flexible slots so those requests are dealt with promptly and consistently, without eating into your GPs' capacity.
The clinic uses a standardised model that handles over 95% of fit-note (Med3) requests independently. The vast majority of Med3 requests are completed in the clinic and never reach a GP; only the small number of genuinely complex cases are passed back to your clinicians for a decision.
That gives your team a reliable release valve for a high-volume, routine task.
- Daily clinic with flexible slots shaped around your demand.
- Standardised model handling over 95% of fit-note (Med3) requests independently.
- Only complex cases are escalated back to your GPs.
- Frees GP appointments for patients with a clinical need.
Support patients back to work, appropriately
A fit note is not just a sick note. NovaClinic's fit-note clinic supports a safe, appropriate return to work — using the Med3 to recommend adjustments or phased returns where that is clinically suitable, rather than defaulting to signing patients off.
That is better for patients, better for employers, and keeps every decision clinically sound and documented in your system under GP-led governance.
- Supports a safe, appropriate return to work.
- Recommends adjustments or phased returns where clinically suitable.
- All decisions documented in your system under GP-led governance.
Who it's for: GP practices, PCNs, Federations and ICBs across England that want to take routine fit-note (Med3) demand off their clinicians while keeping return-to-work decisions safe.
