Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Sick leave report
Hi,

I'm proofreading a medical report.

This is the page on social security.
"Informe COMPLEMENTARIO a cumplimentar con el tercer parte (dia 18 de la BAJA) y sucesivamente cada 4 partes"

Translator has written
"SUPPLEMENTARY report to be filled in together with the third report (day 18 of the sick leave period), and thereon after every 4 reports"

Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks
Proposed translations (English)

IMHO "thereafter" doesn't sit well in the same sentence as "after", so I might try something like: ""and thereafter following every 4..."

For some reason, I'm not keen on thereon/thereupon, although they may be correct.

agree Nikolaj Widenmann : Put 'thereafter at end: "and every 4 reports thereafter" (and no comma before 'and')
17 hrs
(Taking no sides here) but wouldn't that be the notorious Oxford comma, which some people swear by?
agree Martin Harvey
1 day 3 hrs
agree David Brown : and from then on??
2 days 2 hrs
agree Stephen D. Moore : Nikolaj Widenmann offers a good, natural-sounding phrasing.
