On quest for my Euromillions: Davenports at Charing Cross Station sell excellent magic tricks – sadly, I think they are currently out of stock of said crystal balls.
They do have 12 magic wands for the grand price of £14.00. The brand of wand, “Silly Billy”, says it all really.

AnneWell said – great end to the week where more than once, myself and my HR colleagues, have bemoaned the lack of a crystal ball and a magic wand..

If this is as Anne says then the GP is being rather naive. Having a note from your doctor, or your Mum saying that you are stressed doesnt mean that any management processes will cease until you are "better". Any savvy HR person will just recommend that the processes continue with the info they have, and that it may be to the persons detriment that they dont engage as they will have no opportunity to present their case.
And, as ever - the magic note is advice to the individual not the employer, and its only real validity is for SSP purposes. Not sure that I would even bother liaising with the GP as my crystal ball is showing me quite clearly what the likely response would be.....

Hello Paul
The person is facing an investigation which they are finding uncomfortable and the GP is obviously acting firmly as his patient’s advocate. It does rather make a mockery of “Fit Notes”.
I was already thinking along the lines of your final sentence – perhaps s/he has what I have always wanted – a crystal ball. If they could let me know where they bought it my Euromillions lottery win would be assured.

Hi all,
We’ve had an employee present a fit note that commences in a few days’ time and they are currently still at work performing normal work tasks and hours and will continue to do so until the fit note kicks in. The note cites work-related stress as the reason. The employee is going through an investigation relating to a previous work role but nothing has currently changed and nothing is due to change over the coming days or weeks: there is therefore no specific cause of stress coming up.
My question is whether anyone else has come across a GP issuing a fit note commencing in the future for reasons other than planned treatment (e.g. surgery)?
We will be trying to speak to the GP to clarify the rationale for his decision and to educate him about the wonderful range of help and support available that can keep the employee at work. It seems the GP has developed impressive psychic skills in that he assessed that the employee is fit to work for a few days but will suddenly develop a stress-related illness a few days hence.
Many thanks
Paul
