From time to time you will be required to issue medical or sick certificates. Please note that medical certificates are legal documents. Doctors who deliberately issue a false, misleading or inaccurate certificate could face disciplinary action under the relevant Medical Practitioners’ Act (or its equivalent). Doctors may also expose themselves to civil or criminal legal action. You can assist your patients by displaying a notice to this effect in your waiting rooms.
