What you will learn in this course?

Let us organise in-house group training at your own setting.

This training course is valid for two years, in line with recommendations from the Joint Epilepsy Council (JEC).

The course provides an in‑depth understanding of the different types of epilepsy and seizures, alongside the safe and effective use of Buccal Midazolam as a treatment. It also covers key areas such as dosage, administration, side effects, record keeping, and post‑treatment aftercare.
