When might you need a medical report?
Organisations sometimes request medical documentation to confirm your health, medical history or fitness for a particular purpose. Common reasons patients request a report, certificate or GP letter include:
Employment
Employers may request documentation to support a return to work, workplace adjustments, occupational health assessments or prolonged sickness absence.
See our Private Sick Notes service →Insurance
Insurance providers sometimes require a medical report or supporting letter when assessing a new application or reviewing an existing claim.
Education
Schools, colleges and universities may ask for medical evidence to support illness, examination adjustments or other health-related requests.
Travel
Some countries, airlines or travel providers require medical documentation before travel, particularly if you have an existing condition or need special assistance.
Sporting Activities
Sports clubs, gyms, event organisers and governing bodies may request medical certification confirming you are fit to take part in certain activities.
General Medical Documentation
You may simply need a GP letter, certificate or supporting report to confirm information about your health for an employer, organisation, solicitor or another third party.
If you're unsure which document you need, simply bring any forms or guidance you've received to your appointment. Dr Secretary will explain the options and advise on the most appropriate documentation.
What types of medical documentation can be provided?
The type of documentation you need depends on who has requested it, why it's required and whether it's appropriate following your consultation. Dr Secretary will discuss your circumstances, review any relevant medical information and advise on the most suitable form of documentation.
Medical Reports
A detailed account of your health, medical history, diagnosis, treatment or current condition — often requested by employers, insurers, solicitors or educational institutions that require a professional medical opinion.
Medical Certificates
Used to confirm a specific medical fact, such as an illness, fitness for work or another health-related matter. The exact content depends on the purpose of the certificate.
GP Letters
Written confirmation or clarification about a particular aspect of your health for an employer, organisation, school or another third party — including supporting information or recommendations where appropriate.
Supporting Documentation
Some organisations request bespoke documentation rather than a standard report or certificate. Where appropriate, Dr Secretary can advise whether it can be provided and what information is needed first.
Because every request is different, the documentation required will vary depending on who has requested it and the information they need. If you're unsure which type is appropriate, Dr Secretary will explain the options and recommend the most suitable documentation.

Every request begins with a GP consultation to understand your circumstances and determine the most appropriate documentation.
