For almost 30 years, Epilepsy Awareness Ltd has been helping organisations develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to support people living with epilepsy.
Founded on lived experience and informed by clinical expertise, we are passionate about improving understanding of the epilepsies and promoting safe, compassionate care. Through practical training and education, we support schools, care providers, healthcare organisations, families and employers across the UK and internationally to meet the needs of individuals with epilepsy and those that support them
We believe that knowledge saves lives. Greater understanding of epilepsy helps individuals, families and organisations advocate effectively, supporting people with epilepsy to access the right care, specialist support and treatment when they need it.
At Epilepsy Awareness Limited, we believe that knowledge saves lives—and empathy changes them.

While our courses follow a structured and standardised programme, we recognise that every person with epilepsy is different. Where possible, we tailor relevant aspects of training to reflect seizure types, emergency medication requirements and practical support considerations.
Our training is designed for any organisation that supports, works with or employs people living with epilepsy.
From schools and healthcare providers to businesses, legal firms and financial organisations, we help teams develop the confidence and practical skills needed to support people with epilepsy safely and effectively.
