Epilepsy Awareness for AWD Providers
- Time:
Fully Funded online training live webinars with Training2care.
Data from LeDeR reviews has shown us that there are some common themes involved in the often avoidable deaths of people with a learning disability.
Epilepsy is one of the health factors that is not always understood and so contributes to poorer health and, at times, death.
We are offering the opportunity to providers to attend a two-hour training webinar with Training2care on Epilepsy awareness.
