Just tell work you want a break if you book holiday otherwise I think you can get up to 2 weeks sick note when you have surgery I’d call you nurse and ask xxx

HR where i work have agreed i use half of the time as annual leave and the other half as sick. You can self certify for a week i think so you should be able to do that then any longer get a sick note from doctor hun that should be fine x

You can request a sick note from MYA at your pre op for time off work but it does state that you’re having elective surgery. Xx

I spoke to my HR lady where I work she is very supportive. She spoke to ACAS who advise on all employment law and they said legally if you have a sick note you don’t have to use annual leave. She told me if it made me more comfortable to use 1 day annual leave for the day of procedure – then once I have had the procedure the sick note will cover me anyway as there is no possible way I could work for a week or so. Hope this helps xxx
