Things to do to get ready for looking for a job?

I am currently signed off work sick.
My contract runs out in March so in the New Year (prior to be signed off) I had planned on starting to look for a new job.
As I am off sick now, I don't feel in any position to be looking for a job etc and so wondered what I could be doing in order to 'prepare' for when I am fit and able to start applying.
I have updated my CV with all my training and job details etc, I have down loaded the 5 local authority application forms and filled in as much as I can, so at least I don't need to start them from scratch. I have created an NHS profile too.
I am hopeful to be back at work in the next few weeks, current sick note I got on Monday is for 4 weeks, but I am hoping to get work to agree alternative duties tomorrow.
Is there anything you can think I could maybe be doing so that when my contract does come to an end I'm at least ahead of the game (maybe).
