Your practice is 'Bonkers!' - hope you get a supportive Surgery next time
Such jobsworths! to send you a letter, rather than just sign. Good luck x

A fit to work would not normally suffice for abroad licensing. I have always been told it needs to include "fit to fly and work abroad for performance related work". I'd hate for you to then miss out with a letter they're already being difficult with supplying for the courts to then throw it out.RoseTowers4 wrote:I haven't been given all the details yet but have been advised to get the letter asap. I think I'll have a look on their website and see what it says about a 'fit to work' letter. It sounds better than me saying ds needs it to prove that he's fit to travel.
I've asked a doctor to sign a letter in the past during an appointment and bless her, she did it straightaway, but she's left now. I've been trying to go through the official channels and keep very calm and reasonable, but feel I'm been fobbed off. I get the impression that the staff are too scared to press the doctors left!
I will have to look at taking ds privately to get it done if they still refuse after tomorrow, but since these letters only last six months, it could get very expensive. I might look at moving to a more helpful health centre but suspect that in our area, it may be difficult.
Thank you for your replies. It helps to read other people's experiences and points of view. It's beginning to feel like it's another postcode lottery, similar to licences.
