NHS Grampian uses an NHS Scotland Workforce Attendance Policy which is available here:

https://workforce.nhs.scot/policies/attendance-policy-overview/

The aim of this policy is to make sure managers throughout NHS Scotland adopt a fair, consistent and supportive approach to employees with health problems and to make sure that sickness absence levels are maintained within those acceptable to NHS Scotland.

While NHS Grampian aims to secure the attendance at work of all employees, it is recognised that a certain level of absence due to sickness may occur and that the sensitive management of health problems and the promotion of good health contributes to staff retention.
