I can imagine there is a lot of sick leave in the nhs, imagine working as a doctor in a NHS hospital with your waiting room constantly overflowing and having to rush time with each patient, probably very stressful. Also probably cant admit patients that need it due to bed shortages.
Strangely enough, hospital doctors have one of the lowest sickness absences.

This spreadsheet shows that, on average, the annualised figures are -

Ambulance Staff 6.05%
Administration and Estates 3.37%
Healthcare Assistants and Other Support Staff 6.03%
Medical and Dental Staff* 1.09%
Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting Staff 4.79%
Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting Learners 1.04%
Scientific, Therapeutic and Technical Staff 3.14%
Healthcare Scientists 3.03%

*including consultants, registrars and other doctors in training.
Data for medical and dental staff are an annual snapshot of the number of doctors within hospital and community health services (HCHS) of the NHS. It excludes General Practitioners, GP practice staff and high street dentists.
