Confirmation of illness

If you are unwell during any period of assessment, including examinations, you must request a confirmation of illness form as quickly as possible from your GP. 

Submission

You need three copies of the form. Practitioners at Unity Health have duplicate pads of these forms, which create a full set of copies.

If you have to go to a doctor who is not at Unity Health, print a Confirmation of Illness Form (PDF , 292kb) and take it with you. You will need to make copies for submission.
