Certificate in Epilepsy Awareness

Epilepsy is a common chronic condition that affects the brain and causes seizures, which are bursts of electrical activity in the brain that temporarily affects how it works. When someone has epilepsy, they tend to have epileptic seizures. This means that employers need to support employees in carrying out an appropriate risk assessment and supporting their care plan in the workplace. 

Developed by Samantha Kendall, qualified emergency medical technician, this Essential CPD course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to understand what epilepsy is and how employers can manage and support those with epilepsy in the workplace. 

Please note: This course consists of learning through video, task completion and further reading/research. Please consider this when planning and allocating your time. To successfully understand and achieve the objectives of the course, learners are expected to engage in all aspects of the learning process to ensure they can successfully apply the knowledge and skills they have gained in their own setting.
