Epilepsy Awareness Training for those who work with adults with learning disabilities

Course Provider: Powys Teaching Health Board Community Learning Disability Nurses

Outcomes:

Have knowledge of different types of epileptic seizures
Recognise and describe different types of seizures
Describe the principles of managing an epileptic seizure
Describe the impact of epilepsy on lifestyle
Accurately describe the difference between status epileptics and serial seizures

Please note:

BUCCAL MIDAZOLAM SESSIONS WILL BE PROVIDED IN SET SESSIONS ACROSS THE COUNTY ARRANGED BY THE NURSES

(We will trial nurses contacting the providers to enquire when most staff are due BUCCCAL MIDAZOLAM sessions. It is hoped this will prevent having to train one or two staff throughout the year.)

NB: If staff have previously received Buccal Midazolam Training via TEAMS ONLINE it is an annual training repeat, not every 2 years as with face-to-face training.
