Lived Experience Stories

An important way of understanding Epilepsy is to listen to the lived experience story of how people cope with Epilepsy on a day to day basis. In this section, we hear two stories of people with Epilepsy and how it affects them and how they manage it.


Epilepsy First Aid

When someone has a seizure you must provide them with the correct first aid techniques. In this section, we look at what first aid is needed to help someone who is having a seizure. We also look at the use of Buccal Midazolam in treating severe seizures so you understand how Buccal Midazolam is used but this is for information only, it does not allow you to administer Buccal Midazolam. To do this you will need further training which we provide nationwide. Contact us for more information.
