Refresher Training
We know how knowledge can fade over time which is why we offer an amended refresher training course on Epilepsy Awareness and the Administration of Buccal Midazolam. This training is designed for professionals who may have a new student/patient with epilepsy within their two year certification but wish to have their knowledge refreshed. This refresher training is only available online and is only for professionals who have previously attended our training courses within the previous two years. For details on upcoming refresher training sessions, please contact Barbara by emailing bdoyle@epilepsy.ie.
Should you have any further question regarding upcoming training events or associated costs, please call our Head Office on 014557500 or email training@epilepsy.ie and our team will be in touch.

The trainer was very interactive with the group, which made it easy to ask any questions and discuss our queries further to support our unique situation
