It is estimated that there over 45,000 people living with epilepsy in Ireland. Across their professional life, it is very likely that a person will need key information about epilepsy and what to do should a person experience a seizure. Examples of such professions include healthcare workers, education staff, community workers in both private and voluntary sectors, facilitators of extra-circular activities in the community and employers/employees who work alongside a person with epilepsy.
