## Resource

The government is launching four major pilot programs across England starting July to overhaul how sick notes work—moving away from the outdated, one-size-fits-all system toward personalized, supportive plans that actually help people return to work. Instead of just issuing a note saying “can’t work,” these pilots test new models where GPs may refer patients to work coaches or even skip the note entirely, aiming to tackle the surge in fit notes and give real help—not just paperwork. With 100,000 cases to evaluate over the year, officials hope to find the most effective way to support both employees and employers during illness.
