Driver's license assessment after epilepsy
A seizure can result in the health requirements for a driver's license no longer being met. The reason for this is to ensure the safety of both the driver and others on the road. In order to meet health requirements after a seizure or loss of consciousness, a specialist assessment from a neurologist is required to determine whether the health requirements for a driver's license are met. This implies a stable state of health without the risk of sudden seizures or loss of consciousness, and after a seizure or loss of consciousness, the neurologist must assess whether the driver still meets these requirements. Often, such an assessment is made after one year of being seizure-free.
Driver's license assessment by neurologist
Our neurologist can perform a driver's license assessment when the time period predicted by the previous doctor approaches. To perform this assessment, the neurologist needs access to relevant medical documents, such as epikrisis and journal notes from previous hospitalizations and outpatient assessments. In addition, results from examinations such as MRI of the head and EEG are necessary, if these have already been performed.
It will also be effective if you have an updated seizure calendar in advance that describes seizures in recent years. If you are taking epilepsy medication, the neurologist will want an overview of which medications you are taking, as well as a serum level. from those on the current dose which is from the last 3 months.
