    Medication is usually one of the factors looked at by the medical team which often bans people from joining however this is looked at on a case by case basis and only the medical team can make the final decision. Some people often stop taking their medication but it is not advised to do this unless you have spoken to your doctor first. This would still show on your medical records so the medical team would be able to give you an answer based on the information that they receive.

    You cant contact the medical team directly they will contact you if they have issues with anything in your medical records. So you would be best to put in an application online to see where it goes. If you have any questions about applying then contact the NRC on 0345 600 80 80.

    Once you have applied then you will be allocated to a careers office who will then look after your application.

    Thanks, I don't want to raise my daughters hopes if it is a blanket no so would rather not put in an application at this stage. I'll phone NRC, thank you
