Hi Sarah, This falls into the sphere of 'fitness to practice'. Personally it would be one occasion where I would 'slope shoulders' and hand-off to an OH physician to make the decision. Regards, Bob From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sarah Flower Sent: 02 September 2009 14:31 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Epilepsy and Midwifery Training Sensitivity: Confidential Dear List I would be most grateful for any advice in regards to the following issue, How long would a potential student need to be seizure free prior to being accepted to undertake their midwifery training? I have an application from a student whose last seizure was only 2 months ago, she has been on treatment since January. My instinct is to advise the school to defer her place, but any other views would be welcome.
