It has been so successful that an epilepsy education programme may soon be approved for teachers to take as part of their continuing education programme.Scots are gaining awareness of epilepsy through the excellent work of Epilepsy Scotland, which is making efforts to improve the health care for the 40,000 people who are living with epilepsy in Scotland. The organisation’s website reads:“Being informed about the condition, knowing the medical terms and how to handle any problems helps reduce the impact epilepsy has on a person’s life.”Epilepsy awareness training would advance those efforts and improve the standard of health not just for children, but for all people with epilepsy.Making epilepsy training mandatory during student teacher training would promote the wellness and protection of pupils in classrooms throughout Scotland.
