I am on sick leave at the moment [new hip] and have been offerd a new job. Can I hand in my notice while I'm on sick leave. I have to give 1 month. New job to start asap.
 
Certainly you can. They are managing without you now so there is no chance they will insist on the months notice.
 
I think there is a moral question here. If your employer provides a generous sick pay scheme and if you are a key member of his team I think that your employer may have an expectation that you dont leave him abruptly during a period of sick leave.
 
If you are ready to start a new job should you still be on sick leave with current job ?
I would surely say they won't mind at all if you don't give notice.
