I would agree with Steve Metcalfe. Our advice from the Health Centre here
to all students on placement (not just those with disabilities) is that, if
they require regular medication, to request a series of repeat
prescriptions by seeing the doctor before departure, get a family member to
collect the drugs then post them on. I could see there could be problems at
customs though if a package is said to contain drugs! Also the drugs would
need to be in a form that was easily posted, i.e. not requiring to be
chilled or any special treatment.
