Back-to-Work Certificate Online — Ireland
A back-to-work certificate documents your readiness to resume duties after illness or injury. Issued same-day by an IMC-registered Online Doctor.
What the certificate says
- Your name and date of consultation
- Statement of fitness for duties (or fitness with listed accommodations)
- Recommended return date
- Doctor name, IMC number, and signature
Phased-return wording
If your role allows, the Online Doctor can document specific phased-return recommendations: reduced hours, alternated days, light duties, or a graduated return over 2–4 weeks. This gives HR clear, actionable guidance.
What we will not certify online
- Roles requiring statutory medical examinations (HGV/PSV drivers, divers, pilots)
- Safety-critical roles requiring physical-fitness testing
- Returns from major surgery where in-person examination is needed
When you might need this
After short absence
You have been off work and HR wants documentation to confirm fitness.
Phased return
You need a clear plan with reduced hours / duties for a defined period.
Occupational input
You need a clinical letter to share with your line manager or OH service.
