Epilepsy Advanced FAQs
What is epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a common condition that affects the brain and causes frequent seizures. Epilepsy can start at any age, but usually starts either in childhood or in people over 60. It is often lifelong, but can sometimes improve over time.
How serious is epilepsy?
Most seizures end on their own and do not cause serious problems. However, if epilepsy is not treated, seizures may occur throughout a person’s life. Seizures can become more severe, and their frequency can increase. In addition, during some seizures, people can injure themselves or develop other medical complications which result in a life-threatening emergency.
Who is this course for?
Our advanced epilepsy awareness course is ideal for care sector staff and teaches them about the causes, effects and different types of epilepsy. It is also relevant to anyone that lives with or carers for someone with epilepsy.
How does this course differ from the basic course?
Candidates on the course will learn more about the law and legislation and the types of medications such as Buccal, Midazolam and Rectal Diazepam. The course takes more of a hands on approach with practical sessions run by our instructors and as a result is only available as in-house training.
What are the main points covered?
This course covers the different types of seizures, how to react when someone has one, knowing the medication and laws and legislation.
