About this event

This training session gives a good introduction to epilepsy.

How can you best understand and help those affected with different types of seizures.

Great for those who have contact with people with epilepsy, such as family and friends, those working in education and afterschool clubs, sports and good CPD for nurses.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions.

In the UK, there are over 600,000 people with a diagnosis of epilepsy.

That is about 1 in 103 people, or 1 child or young person in every 3 classrooms.

Every year, 1000 people in the UK die due to their epilepsy.

Help avoid unnecessary suffering or even death by knowing what to do to help while they're having an epileptic seizure, and keep them safe.
