Is it better to resign before dismissal - sickness

This is the first time I’ve encountered this so I am not sure how it all works. I have just passed 6 months of sickness and work want to arrange a capability meeting. There are no arrangements that can be made for me to return to work, what I need is medical help.
Am I able to hand my notice in? Is this better than going through capability meeting and dismissal? I’m worried how it will look to future employers so want to choose the best option.

I know I cannot fulfill role at present so I accept there is no choice for me to lose the job one way or another. I need to be seen by a medical professional and due to a very broken system it’s going to be likely another 5-6months before someone can even answer the question of if I’m safe to go back to work, but that’s another story entirely.

Thank you, I will investigate further as I have always worked so should have enough NI.

Yes definitely check. I hope things improve for you x
