Target Audience/Eligibility Criteria
This course is suitable for all Health Professionals
Course Aim
This course highlights the importance of risk management among patients with epilepsy and their health professionals in order to reduce risks and help keep people with epilepsy safer.
Course Content
Patients with epilepsy have a higher rate of premature death than the general population. The commonest cause of death from epilepsy is sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).
This course uses video and case studies to illustrate various points in the clinical management of patients with epilepsy.
General Practice has an important role to work with people with epilepsy and their families to minimise the impact of the condition and the risk of death. This can be done by carrying out epilepsy reviews in primary care, by referring to other services where necessary, by signposting patients to resources and by liaising with the family after an epilepsy related death.
