Under the new regulations for eMED3 fit notes, a wider range of healthcare professionals can now certify these notes. These professionals include not only doctors but also nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and pharmacists. This update allows healthcare facilities to distribute the workload more effectively, making the process more efficient for both staff and patients.
Certified Roles
- Doctors: General Medical Practitioner, Sessional GP, Consultant, and more.
- Nurses: Staff Nurse, Nurse Consultant, Community Nurse, among others.
- Physiotherapists: Physiotherapist, Consultant, Manager.
- Occupational Therapists: Occupational Therapist, Consultant, Team Manager.

This change optimises workforce utilisation by enabling a broader spectrum of professionals to issue fit notes, contributing to more efficient patient care and reduced wait times.
