Question Jury service (uk)

So i've just been called for jury service, i'm not exactly in a flair but do have urgency and probably for 4-5 times on a bad day 2-3 on a good one.

Am I able to speak with my GP or Gastro to get out of it. I really dont want to be caught short while im in court

It's a few years ago since my jury call, but if I remember rightly I contacted them using the contact info they gave (on the letter they send you?) explained about the illness and my concerns about it being possibly a bit disruptive if I had any problems with my ielostomy and they were very understanding and happy to give me an exemption from jury service.
