Course Description
Introducing epilepsy involves acknowledging the diverse range of seizures, with approximately 40 different types documented. Statistics reveal that one in five individuals may experience a seizure at some point in their lives, though not all are attributed to epilepsy.
Epilepsy, recognised as a neurological disorder, impacts both the brain and the nervous system and falls under the protection of the Equality Act 2010. Its effects can be temporary or lifelong, underscoring the importance of understanding and awareness, particularly in healthcare and social care settings.

Additionally, the course identifies potential seizure triggers and offers guidance on responding effectively when witnessing a seizure.
