Please contact the Absence Reporting Line for the following reasons:

1. If you are off sick or needing to isolate, including non-Covid sickness – please call on the first day of your sickness/isolation, even if it’s not a working day
2. If you need to extend your absence episode
3. If the reason for your absence has changed i.e. following a swab test
4. If you are able to return to work earlier than expected and need your absence closing down
5. To be referred for a PCR Test
6. To notify us of your PCR result

If you have received a positive PCR result, please update the Absence Reporting Line by calling 01743 295882 or email sath.sickness.reporting@nhs.net outside of the opening times. Please include your full name, employee number, the date the positive result was received and the date of the end of your isolation.

You will be asked for the following information when you call, so it would assist if you had the following at hand:

1. Assignment/Employee Number
2. The name of your Line Manager and Department
3. An estimate of how long you may be absent for *
4. Reason for absence *
5. A contact number you can be reached on

*Please note the Absence Line is unable to give advice on whether a member of staff will need to isolate and how long for. It is recommended that you seek advice from a medical professional if you are unsure.

Guidance on how to access a PCR test can be found here.

If you will be absent from work due to requiring emergency time off (special leave) please contact your manager to make arrangements. The Absence Line will not be able to record or authorise emergency time off.
