Employers can expect to see sick notes from greater range of health professionals
Too often we see people being faced with unnecessary challenges to get a fit note. More professionals being able to offer this vital service will speed up the process and support people to return to or remain in work.”
Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid MP said: “Slashing unnecessary bureaucracy is key to ensuring more patients can see their GP quickly and get the care they need as we bust the Covid backlogs.“That’s why we have introduced these powers to ensure certifying fit notes can be carried out by other healthcare professionals – helping to relieve pressures on GPs so they can focus on patients and deliver an extra 50 million appointments a year by 2024.”

14-storey Sheffield residential development reaches important milestone
Construction on Kangaroo Works, Sheffield City Centre’s new 14-storey residential development, has reached an important milestone with the completion of the highest point of the structure.
The Kangaroo Works development on Trafalgar Street, which forms part of Sheffield City Council’s Heart of the City programme, has been gathering momentum in recent months and now the building’s concrete frame has reached its highest point – 46 metres from the ground. A joint venture from US investor Angelo Gordon and real estate experts Ridgeback Group, Kangaroo Works will see an injection of 365 homes into the city centre. A mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with five commercial units included on the ground floor, the block’s design features a distinctive brick façade that nods to the site’s former industrial heritage. The development is complemented by a landscaped central courtyard and rain garden. Tony Shaw, Managing Director, Henry Boot Construction, said: “This has been a challenging city centre site so we’re absolutely delighted to reach the highest point of the build on track. “Kangaroo Works is one of the largest residential schemes in South Yorkshire and, as a local business, we’re proud to be involved.” Chris Allen, senior development manager, Ridgeback Group, said: “This part of Sheffield is undergoing rapid change and it is exciting to be involved in the delivery of one of the key sites within Heart of the City. “Topping out is always a significant milestone and we hope that most of the site complexities are now behind us. We are looking forward to launching 365 rental apartments later this year and welcoming new residents in 2023.” Kangaroo Works is due to be completed in the first half of 2023.
