I would have thought you still need a a sick note your cover your absence and would be in your interest to keep obtaining one whilst employed by RM

A doctor's chit is a legal requirement if absent over seven days.
An Occupational therapist can now issue a Fit Note for an employee. Think that was what your GP surgery was referring?
