Epilepsy awareness courses
Epilepsy Society's in-person and live online training courses
Our training courses are aimed at those who care for adults with epilepsy. Learn about the causes of epilepsy, how epilepsy is diagnosed, seizure triggers, first aid for different types of seizures (including clips of real seizures), how to manage risks, psychosocial issues, and how to administer emergency medication. All our training is in-person or live online, giving opportunity to ask questions. See below for information on the training we offer.

"I think the whole course was excellent and has given me so much information, awareness, understanding and confidence. The trainer was excellent; her pace, technical ability and efficiency in dealing with any questions were all first class"
