CW: snark/fury, all-caps (UK sick-note foolishness)
"GP fit notes declaring people unable to work will be replaced with support to help them stay in their job, under a government pilot scheme."
"GPs in two areas of England will refer patients for support alongside fit notes, while two others will stop issuing fit notes entirely. ...
"The move is part of efforts to tackle the growing number of people who are out of work due to poor health. ...
"More than 11 million fit notes are issued every year, with the numbers increasing since the Covid pandemic."
"WITH THE NUMBERS INCREASING SINCE THE COVID PANDEMIC"
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT
DO YOU KNOW ALL THE THINGS COVID DOES TO PEOPLE
WHAT "SUPPORT" ARE YOU IMAGINING BECAUSE YOU COULD JUST PROVIDE THAT ANYWAY IF YOU CARED
(at least the BBC article said the word covid, point in their favour)

#BC to change law to stop employers from asking for 'unnecessary' doctor sick notes https://www.kamloopsbcnow.com/watercooler/news/news/Provincial/BC_changes_law_to_stop_employers_from_asking_for_unnecessary_doctor_sick_notes/?utm_source=KamloopsBCNow%3A+Stuff+That+Matters&utm_campaign=1eae0588b6-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c6c74ff35d-1eae0588b6-632038545 Thing is… it’s been the Health Authorities that are amongst the worst offenders. “British Columbia's labour and health ministries announced Tuesday that changes would be made to the province's Employment Standards Act, which will stop employers from asking employees for "unnecessary" #sicknotes, Labour Minister Jennifer Whiteside said.”

B.C. family doctors renew plea to scrap sick notes: https://globalnews.ca/news/10990352/b-c-family-doctors-sick-notes/ “British Columbia’s family doctors are renewing their plea for the provincial government to ban employer-mandated sick notes, saying the practice is bogging physicians down in red tape.
The BC College of Family Physicians #BCCFP says writing #sicknotes is “not a medically necessary service,” and leaves physicians with a heavy administrative burden that eats away at time better spent treating patients.

#Sunak to cite Britain’s ‘sicknote culture’ in bid to overhaul fit note system
In a speech on how to reduce people being signed off sick from work, the prime minister will say the government is planning to trial getting “work and health professionals” to issue fit notes, shifting away from GPs carrying out this role.
