Can I go on holiday if I am on sick leave from work?

As a nurse, you might assume that if you are unable to work due to illness then you would also be unable to take a holiday but this is not always the case. If a holiday would assist your recuperation or if you had holiday booked before you were ill, for example, you may still be able to get away. Employment advisers explain what you can and can’t do when you are on sick leave, whether you work in the NHS or the independent sector
