    What if on the day, I fall sick and don't turn up?

    Unless you contact the court beforehand you my be dealt with in your absence. There is still a chance that will happen even if you do. However, if your attendance is required to clarify your plea, the court might adjourn to give you a further chance to attend. If you fail to attend again you will definitely be dealt with in your absence and if your plea is not clear to the court a Not Guilty plea will be entered on your behalf. 
    If not, would it be assumed no plea? 
    As above

    So could I be hit with a stringent fine/ ban

    I've already told you the likely outcome. You not being there won't make much difference. 

    All this is doing me head in , my Gp can only see me on the 27th 
    I believe you should stop driving (and stop posting on here) at least until then and at your consultation ask the doctor whether he considers you should resume driving.
