GP waiting times in the UK have hit record levels, with many patients waiting two weeks or more for a routine appointment. That’s frustrating at the best of times — and unworkable when your employer or university needs proof of illness this week.
● Surgeries handling more patients with fewer available slots.
● Ongoing staff shortages across primary care.
● Seasonal illness spikes that overwhelm booking systems.
● Lost wages or unpaid leave when evidence is late.
● Academic penalties for missed submissions.
● Added anxiety at exactly the time you should be resting.
