Understanding exam access arrangements for students with epilepsy
Exam season brings pressure for every student. For students with epilepsy, that pressure can carry additional weight — and the right arrangements make a real difference.
Read articleWe train staff in schools, care homes and healthcare teams to respond to seizures the way each person's plan says they should — not a generic textbook version.
Every session is shaped around the people you actually support: the conditions they live with, the medication they're prescribed, and the environment they're in.
Teaching, support and pastoral teams looking after pupils with complex needs.
Day-in, day-out care teams in homes, hostels and adult social-care settings.
Community nurses, support workers and clinical teams managing complex caseloads.
Independent expert reports, care planning input and witness work for ongoing cases.
Every course is delivered by registered nurses with day-job experience in epilepsy care. Each can be run face-to-face in your setting, online, by video conference, or as a blended session.
The grounding every team needs: seizure types, recognition, response, recovery, recording, and when to call for help. The course every other one builds on.

Course outlineFor settings where staff need both routes signed off. One session, both competencies covered — efficient for larger teams or mixed caseloads.
Course outlineEvery course is structured around the same four-step response framework — so staff have a clear, consistent protocol to follow under pressure.
See the full trainingWhen a person's epilepsy needs more than a training course — assessments, plan reviews, MDT input, expert reports — the same clinical team is available to consult, visit, or write.
On-site assessment visits, MDT meeting attendance, and ongoing client visits to ensure the support stays right as the picture changes.
Individual support plans, medication reviews, and environment recommendations — written to be useful to the people who'll actually use them.
Independent expert reports for legal cases, case management input, and court witness work for ongoing proceedings involving epilepsy care.
The difference between a generic awareness session and this is night and day. Our team came out knowing exactly what to do for the children we actually support — not a hypothetical one.

Read articleWhen most people picture a seizure, they imagine someone falling to the ground, body stiffening and shaking. That image describes one type — but many seizures look nothing like it.
