The Her Majesty's Court website states thus: Applications for excusal on the grounds of a physical disability which would make jury service difficult to undertake should be considered sympathetically such applications should normally be considered without the necessity for a medical certificate to be produced. However, a certificate should be requested if the summoning officer feels that that one is necessary to support an application for excusal on the grounds of illness or physical disability (for example, where there is uncertainty as to the illness/ disability), or where one is required for an appeal against non-excusal.
We would recommend that you produce a letter stating only the facts for the summoning officer to consider and weigh up e.g. "the patient tells me that their anxiety makes travelling to the court impossible".
This work is not part of NHS services and you may if you wish make a charge to your patient.
