Hi Sue
The workfit.com surgery guidelines state
2-4 weeks for a RTW for a manual job. I would probably put some advice in
around MH initially to help ease her back into work.

I think it varies from consultant to consultant
regarding the advice they give. Also age and job will also have an
impact. That said, when I was 43 (a few years ago), I had a lap chole,
had a week off and went straight back to 12 hour shifts on a general ward in a
hospital. And I was fine.
In my role as an OHA, I have had referrals for
employees who have had lap chole , do admin type work and their GP will
often sign them off for 3 months!
The guidance that Carr has attached if useful.
Regards,
Alison
