Epilepsy Training for Schools

Our training courses can be conducted at your school at a time convenient to staff.

Understanding and Managing Epilepsy

Who would benefit from this training?

The Understanding and Managing Epilepsy course is suited to schools who want to know more about supporting students with epilepsy and is a prerequisite course to the Administration of Emergency Medication course. Schools with students that require administration of emergency medication such as midazolam should enrol in both courses.

About 1 in 200 children live with epilepsy.

A child’s learning, behaviour and thinking can be negatively impacted by seizure activity, seizure recovery, medication side-effects and potential ongoing abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

We teach staff how to identify the signs of many types of seizures and how best to support a person with epilepsy in their care. Our training is now TQI accredited for 2 hours.
