Epilepsy and Learning Disabilities

Synopsis

This print and DVD resource provides trainers with all the material to deliver training to care and residential staff on epilepsy and its management, particularly relating to epilepsy in people with learning disabilities. The pack’s flexibility allows it to be used by a wide range of organisations. The training is presented in two sessions: Session A: Introduction to epilepsy; Session B: Administration of rectal diazepam (because this is an invasive medical procedure, Session B must be taught by a qualified nurse).

The pack offers step-by-step instructions, all the training materials needed to deliver the training, and two DVDs, THE RIGHT STUFF: FACTS AND FIRST AID FOR EPILEPSY and RECTAL DIAZEPAM.
Vital information for: trainers, carers in residential care homes, NHS, nurses, and local authorities. Produced by Mary Codling, Nicky MacDonald, Fiona Simpson and Barbara Chandler, Berkshire Healthcare NHS Trust
