Certificates and referral letters
Fitness, sick leave and medical leave certificates and referral letters, ready-worded, printed on your pad and signed like a prescription.
3 minute read
RxKite has four ready-made documents besides the prescription:
- Fitness certificate: found medically fit to resume duty, join service, play sport or travel, from a date. With an illness filled in, it says the patient has recovered from it.
- Sick leave certificate: rest for a short illness, for work, school or college, between two dates.
- Medical leave certificate: the formal wording offices ask for ("a period of absence from duty … is absolutely necessary for the restoration of health"), with a tick box for an extension of leave.
- Referral letter: to a specialist or hospital, with the reason, how urgent it is, a clinical summary, the provisional diagnosis, the treatment so far and the investigations.
Each prints on your pad, with your header and footer, your signature and stamp, and the QR code, just like a prescription.
Start one
- From the patient's record, press Certificate or letter and pick one.
- From a prescription, open ⋯ → Certificate or letter for this visit. The diagnosis comes with it, and a referral letter also takes the visit's complaints, findings, vitals, medicines and tests, so nothing is typed twice.
Fill in the few details it asks for. The preview beside the form shows the page as it will print. Under Wording you see the sentence RxKite has made from them, with the patient's name, relation (S/o, D/o) and age from their record. Press Change the wording to write it your own way; Standard wording goes back.
Each one can also carry Examination, vitals and tests, all optional: examination findings, radiology findings, vitals and lab results, each printed only when filled in. A referral letter started from a prescription has them filled in from the visit, with the tests you advised. A certificate leaves them empty, since an employer or school sees it; press Copy its findings, vitals and results to bring them over from the visit.
For sick and medical leave, the Days buttons fill in the last day for you. A period that has already ended when the certificate is dated is worded in the past ("was suffering … could not attend").
Sign, print and send
Save, sign & print works as for a prescription: Save & print, Save only or Save & WhatsApp each save and sign it. The certificate gets its number (CERT/2026/00012; referral letters REF/2026/00004), is filed under the patient and can no longer be edited, only voided with a reason; voiding offers to copy it into a new draft to correct it, as for a prescription. Then Print, Email or ⋯ → Download signed original.
Anyone the patient shows it to, such as an employer, a school or a hospital, can scan the QR code to check it. The check page shows the number, your name and registration, the date and the dates of leave (or whom a letter is to), never the illness.
Certificates and letters are not counted against your plan's prescriptions. Their signed PDF copies are kept like a prescription's.
