How to plan leave sensibly, why the timeframe is set by our specialised medical team, and what to arrange with your employer before you travel.
The timeframe is set by our specialised medical team
When you can return to work depends on your case, the procedure and how your recovery progresses. Our specialised medical team gives you guidance based on your situation — not a general figure that applies to everyone.
Tell our specialised medical team about your work
If your work involves physical effort, long hours, driving or public-facing duties, tell our specialised medical team. It may affect the guidance you receive.
Plan leave with a margin
When you discuss the expected period, plan your leave with some flexibility rather than exactly to the day. This reduces pressure on you during recovery.
What to tell your employer
You are not obliged to share medical details with your employer. In most cases a medical certificate confirming you are unfit for work is sufficient — check your own workplace entitlements.
Arrange the practical side
Consider travel to and from work, lifting, and any duties that may need temporary adjustment when you return.
Follow-up continues after you return
Follow-up after you fly home continues through a clear channel, with reviews arranged as our specialised medical team directs — including while you are back at work.
