Medical certificates

Short sick-leave certificate

A medical assessment of short-term work ability.

How we can help

Your doctor reviews your symptoms and work situation, and decides whether a sick-leave certificate is appropriate.

Is this service right for you?

Short-term, non-emergency concerns. The doctor determines the need for a certificate and any further assessment.

Before your appointment

Prepare a description of your symptoms, when they started and the demands of your work.

Step 1 of 2. Complete this questionnaire, then choose your appointment in Vello. Your answers are saved by Medibem before you leave this page. Submitting this form does not create an appointment.

This form is for non-emergency care and is not monitored continuously. Do not wait for a form response if you need urgent care. In an emergency, call 112.

Use the same name, email address and telephone number when booking in Vello so Medibem can match your questionnaire to your appointment. Do not enter your Finnish personal identity code or banking details.
Answer as accurately as you can. If a question does not apply, say so. You may leave optional questions blank if you are unsure. A doctor will review your situation; this form does not diagnose a condition or confirm suitability for treatment.

Medibem stores these answers in its website form records for appointment preparation. They are not sent to Vello in the booking link and are not automatically added to Kanta. Read the privacy notice or contact Medibem if you have questions about how your information is handled.

Before you continue *

Every appointment starts with a clinical assessment. A prescription or certificate is issued only when the doctor considers it appropriate. You may be advised to attend an in-person appointment or have tests.
