Medical Treatment Leave Letter

Your health and productivity are linked, and if you are unhealthy and in need of medical treatment, work becomes a secondary concern. Since you will be needing days off from work to either get the treatment or recover from it, we will show you to how to write a medical treatment leave letter. You can also refer to the samples and template we have provided for more guidance and use them when drafting your own leave letter.

Tips for Writing a Medical Treatment Leave Letter

If you aren’t comfortable sharing the details of your medical treatment, you don’t necessarily have to.
Depending on your company’s leave policy, you might be required to submit a doctor’s prescription or note.
Clearly mention the dates you need to be away from work.
If there is a recovery time period involved, mention that too.
Delegate your work and leave your contact information in case of emergencies.
If your treatment is planned, you will need to submit the letter in advance.

Respected sir,

Due to the changing weather conditions I am having some issues with my skin. I visited a dermatologist two days back and she suggested that I undergo a skin treatment to alleviate my condition. The treatment will take six days and I am not allowed to expose my skin to sun light during this time, which will make it impossible for me to attend work.

Given my situation, I would like to request a week-long leave, from the 4th of May to the 10th, and will report back to work on the 11th of May.

During my absence you can coordinate with Elizabeth Twain, who also has my personal contact details.

I would appreciate it if you approved my leave request.

Regards,
Nichole Schwarzenegger
