LMCs leaders are preparing self-certification forms to prevent GP surgeries being inundated by NHS staff forced to get sick notes for the pensions ?day of action' this Wednesday.
The move comes after Pulse reported NHS Employers guidance that any NHS worker phoning in sick this Wednesday has to provide a sick note from a GP, even if they are off for just that day.
The Day of Action will be the biggest strike in decades, involving 33 unions representing 2.6 million workers, and the GPC is advising GPs that they are not legally obliged to write certificates for NHS staff who phone in sick during Wednesday's public sector strike.
