At my college we have a procedure of which you follow. we also have an
alarm to which the person who has the xam emergency bell. will be closeby.
for more serious instances. an emergency pager and constantly monitored
telephone system is activated.
so any staff are all qualified in basic first aid but also are made sure
they know the procedure.
hop was of some assistance.

Subject: Exam Invigilation
Dear All,
We have a number of students who have separate rooms in examinations
because of various medical conditions. We have recently had a letter
from one of our invigilators complaining that she felt ill-equipped to
invigilate an exam for a student without knowing more details of their
condition should an emergency arise. Do others have guidelines which
respect the students rights but cover the 'emergency situation'? All
our invigilators supervising students with medical conditions have been
on a certified First Aid Course and they are employed specifically for
invigilation and are therefore not members of University staff. Our
exams are held in a variety of locations as we have several sites.
