You should not require a Sick Certificate from your Doctor for the first 7 days of your sickness. However your employer may require you to complete a Self-Certification (SC2)

For any illness lasting longer than 7 days, you may need to see or speak to a Doctor to obtain a Sick Certificate or for Subsequent Renewals.
