We have had applicants with a disability who have received different
answers from different medical schools. We're waiting for a statement from
the powers that be (I suppose the BMA) on the whole question of medical
students with a disability. From our point of view, it's no problem for
someone to do the pre-clinical course - but obviously we don't want to
encourage someone to embark on all this if at the end of the day they find
themselves unable to get a license to practice.
