Dr. Russell Brown explains that hospital staff have an important role in writing fit notes, also called revised Form Med3s, for patients at discharge. Fit notes replaced old sick notes in 2010 and it is the duty of doctors and nurses to provide them upon request. The presentation provides guidance on when fit notes should be issued (at discharge, same time as discharge letter), how to fill them out properly based on diagnosis and expected time off work, and where to find more information and order additional fit note forms. The key responsibilities are asking all patients if they need a fit note, estimating an appropriate length of time off, and referring to online guidance for correctly completing the fit note.
