I assume your passport gets stamped on entry? Then it'll suffice.

You can use council tax, P60s/payslips, or letter from an employer confirming the dates you were employed.
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.

Medical record is only accepted if no other evidence can be provided. Government letters or employment ocuments like I outlined above are preferred.

Who said to you, any guidelines, I used several times Medical evidence for my friends citizenship Application, and it's approved, plus I used for my Son Application it's approved, Medical evidence is more acceptable. It's under NHS record. If you have any other evidence like council tax or
p60 for 5 years and stamps on your passport entry exit, it's also fine.

it's on the official guidance https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... retion.pdf page 16.

Absences
You must check the available evidence to see whether an applicant meets the
residence requirements.
The following can be used as evidence of residence:
• passports or travel documents which have been stamped to show arrival in the
UK and entry and departure from other countries: these should be checked
against the list of absences that applicants are asked to provide on the
application form
• Home Office records
• if the applicant does not have passports to cover the qualifying period, other
evidence such as employers’ letters or tax and National Insurance letters:
o in such cases you should assess whether there is sufficient evidence to
show that that applicant has been resident in the UK during the qualifying
period, giving them the benefit of any doubt where claimed absences are
within the limits we would normally allow and there are no grounds to doubt
the accuracy of the claim
You must not normally accept doctors' letters on their own as proof of residence.
However, if nothing else is available and the doctors can confirm that they have seen
the applicant on a regular basis during the period concerned these may be accepted.

If there are gaps in a person’s evidence of residence and it is clear from the
information available that they could not have travelled, you must accept this.
Examples of this might include a refugee who has no means of travel or where
immigration records confirm continuous residence.
