Law / European driving licence - can he go back to Poland to get another license? [7]

My partner is Polish and has a European driving licence. He lost his wallet last year with the driving licence in it but has now been caught speeding. He has 28 days to admit being the driver but he doesnt know what will happen with regards to getting the points put on his licence. He thinks he has to go back to Poland for about 3 weeks so that he can get another licence but at the moment he is in and out of hospital having operations on a monthly basis so not planning to go back anytime soon. Could somebody give me some advice please. Thanks
