There is a similar case to this (Pook v Owen) but the circumstances are slightly different.
My client lives a distance from the hospital in which she works. She is not a GP and does not have a dual workplace. On occasion she is 'on call' and can be summoned at any time.
When this happens she typically performs some diagnostic work on the telephone. At times she needs to visit the hospital to complete her diagnosis. The hospital makes no payment to her for these travelling expenses. Is there a valid deduction to be made here - does anyone have a similar client, it must be reasonably common.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Doctors Travel Expenses
I have a similar situation with one of my doctor clients and indeed do not claim any mileage costs to and from the hospital.
However, I feel there is scope to make an expenses claim on behalf of the doctor for the costs of mobile telephone calls whist giving advice on route to the hospital.
Would you agree?
