Hello,
I study Adult Nursing and should currently be on placement, however, I also have a very bad kidney infection and have just started my fourth course of antibiotics to try get rid of it (yay). My university said I should NOT be on placement, and will require a sick letter from my doctor until at least this course of antibiotics is finished (two weeks), however, my doctors surgery is charging me £25 for the letter.
Is this something I would be able to claim back from the university? As I personally do not need the letter, the university are the ones requesting it to authorise my absence. £25 for three measly lines saying I'll be off sick for a fortnight due to antibiotics seems a bit steep..
Any help or advice is very appreciated,
Thank you.
