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.
