Buccal Training for Epilepsy
Buccal training for epilepsy entails administering medication through the mouth and specifically cheek. This training can assist individuals who assist those living with epilepsy in managing prolonged seizures that could otherwise progress to status epilepticus, and potentially become dangerous conditions in themselves.
Access to appropriate medications can make all of the difference in an emergency situation, and proper training can assist care workers and nurses in rapidly and correctly dispensing any emergency drugs needed for an immediate medical situation.
Paediatric First Aid Online
No matter your profession - be it teaching, childcare professional, camp counselor or school bus driver - this course can help you recognise and respond to pediatric emergencies effectively. Furthermore, it will teach the proper technique for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on infants and children as well as guidance for treating illnesses, injuries or trauma in children.
This epilepsy recognition and first aid training course provides participants with an understanding of what occurs during seizure episodes, how to recognize them, when to contact emergency services and how best to safely assist someone having one by moving them away from any potentially hazardous objects that might cause injury.
People experiencing seizures can quickly become disoriented, confused and unconscious if left alone for too long, rendering them incapable of communicating effectively and becoming injured as they fall or hit against hard objects. Furthermore, seizure patients could choke on something or bite their tongue, gums or the inside of their cheek as their jaw muscles tighten further
With our Paediatric first aid online courses, you can study at your own pace and at times that are most suitable for you. Designed to accommodate busy working professionals' schedules, certification tests can be taken online with immediate confirmation upon passing; two year course certificates are also included with each course purchase.
Wrap Training
Children living with epilepsy can occasionally have long-lasting seizures of more than 10 seconds known as Status Epilepticus that are potentially life threatening, so it is imperative that staff supporting these children can administer emergency medication quickly. In order to do this, staff need to complete wrap training this course teaches how to properly perform intranasal midazolam administration while providing a better understanding of this condition and its management.
This course is especially relevant for professionals working in health and social care, early years pre-school education or education where risk assessments indicate the need to administer buccal midazolam. This course meets both OFQUAL accreditation standards as well as meeting National Framework for First Aid requirements.
WRAP Seminar II is for anyone who has completed the first WRAP workshop and wants to use WRAP to enhance their own wellness and achieve greater self-determination. Taught by Copeland Center Certified Advanced Level WRAP Facilitators, this session includes an introduction to the WRAP Manual as well as teaching participants techniques that align with Dr. Mary Ellen Copeland's core values and ethics.
Care Mandatory Training
Epilepsy community efforts include creating educational materials and providing continuing education (CE) opportunities - many of which can be completed online - for health care providers about seizures and their effects on individuals, as well as providing continuing education (CE) credits online for various professionals such as school nurses, EMS/law enforcement personnel, teachers/caregivers or anyone who interacts with students with epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a multifactorial condition with many risk factors and comorbidities that may hinder quality of life, making education of this condition both crucial for patients as well as healthcare providers. Educational resources must meet both these goals by meeting individual health professionals' needs as well as reflecting current research.
Innovative approaches, such as interactive care mandatory training, are being created to expand health professional education about epilepsies and provide more targeted opportunities. It will be essential that these resources are disseminated broadly to ensure widespread use and evaluation. High-fidelity simulation also offers another means of augmenting educational efforts, providing health professionals with an environment in which to hone their skills resembling real life situations and settings - this type of learning being particularly helpful for primary care providers who may also benefit from teaching seizure recognition and response when responding to status epilepticus episodes.
