Avoiding Unfair Dismissal Claims

I started work with a large company in the uk in October last year After only one week i partly severed my thumb ( at home d.i.y ) so had to go on sick leave for 12 week`s i then returned back to work but the boss had an attitude with me ( this is because i know the managing director very well ) and he scrutinised every thing i did . after being back at work for 6 weeks i started to have severe pains in my hand`s and after some tests by the doctor`s they decided i need an operation on my carpal tunnel nerve so they put me again on the sick until the operation ( still waiting for the appointment date ) i have today recieved a letter from my employer stating that my employment with them has now been terminated with immediate effect . The sick note they have from me is still valid and will not expire for another 2 week`s . Are they allowed to do this or do i have a case for unfair dismissal ? I was in my last job for 9 years without a single day off except for holiday`s .
My friend the managing director was unaware my boss had done this as he contacted Head office directly .
