Frequently Asked Questions
Epilepsy is a neurological condition causing recurrent seizures. Seizures vary in type and symptoms. UK care professionals can use NHS and NICE epilepsy guidance to support understanding, assessment and care.
Seizures include focal and generalised seizures, absences, tonic, atonic, myoclonic and tonic-clonic seizures. Recognising seizure types helps care workers provide appropriate first aid and follow the person’s care plan.
Keep the person safe, remove nearby hazards, protect their head, time the seizure and stay with them. Follow their epilepsy care plan and seek emergency help if the seizure lasts 5 minutes or longer.
Rescue medication may be prescribed for prolonged or repeated seizures. Only trained and authorised care professionals should administer it according to the person’s epilepsy care plan and UK clinical guidance.
An epilepsy care plan records seizure types, triggers, first aid, prescribed rescue medication and emergency actions. It helps UK health and social care teams provide consistent, person-centred epilepsy support.
