Please do not contact the surgery to chase these up unless it is extremely urgent. The doctors are doing their best but these will take considerably longer to complete. Remember if you are self-isolating and your employer requires a medical certificate then you should use the NHS111 web site to request this. Your GP wil not produce one for you.
