Epilepsy is one of the most common serious neurological conditions, affecting around 1 in 100 people, yet it is still surrounded by myths and misunderstanding. Knowing what to do when someone has a seizure can prevent injury and save lives. This course explains what epilepsy is and what is happening in the brain during a seizure, how common it is, and dispels the common myths that can lead to fear or the wrong response.
It then covers the different seizure types and what can trigger them, and — most importantly — clear, practical seizure first aid: what to do (and what never to do) during a seizure, and when a seizure becomes a medical emergency requiring 999. Finally it looks at living with and supporting epilepsy, including everyday safety and inclusion. It is an awareness-level course for care and education staff, employers and anyone who wants the confidence to respond calmly and correctly to a seizure.
