Epilepsy Ireland - Buccal Midazolam (BM) Training

**COVID-19 Arrangements**

Due to the public health advice issued due to the ongoing pandemic, we are now offering online demonstrations on the administration of Buccal Midazolam for parents and carers. Please contact our Traning Manager Paul Sharkey on info@epilepsy.ie if you would like to book a place on an upcoming class or have any query regarding this. 

Buccal Midazolam (BM) is a rescue medication which has become more widespread in recent years and which can be very important for people with epilepsy. It is administered during a seizure under medical advice and helps to reduce seizure duration and aid with safety. Given promptly, this relatively simple procedure can prevent major disruption to daily life resulting from hospital emergency treatment. 

Epilepsy Ireland provides training in Epilepsy Awareness and the administration of Buccal Midazolam to health care professionals, teachers and SNAs.

We also provide demonstrations to parents and carers. More information is available at this link.  Upcoming online events may be found by clicking here.
