Staff working in Social Care today, often need specialized training in order to care/support clients, enabling them to have more positive life outcomes.

When it comes to learning about epilepsy, the knowledge gained, can greatly improve a person's quality of life. Epilepsy management is a very important part of service provision for many service users in both domiciliary settings and assisted living facilities.

To support this LSCP has collaborated on the development of a half-day programme which will enable staff to gain further insight to the condition and will help employers meet their CQC requirements for staff training. In addition to meeting:

• NICE Guidance 'Epilepsies: diagnosis and management' CG137

• Be familiar with the various forms of epilepsy and their clinical features
