ESNA members are invited to take part in an important preconception care pathway online Delphi survey.
The survey is an exciting next stage of this study to develop a preconception care pathway for women with epilepsy in the UK.
This survey is the first of a two-round online survey. ESNA membership is requested to complete this survey within the next two weeks (by 31st May 2022).
ESNA members who have already let Dr Janine Winterbottom PhD know their interest to participate should have received an email linking to complete their registration and start the survey.
Would ESNA members, where possible, also share with persons they feel might be of interest and might not be on Dr Winterbottom's mailing list.
We are keen to involve as many healthcare professionals/voluntary organisation members who share a role in support of women with epilepsy who might wish to plan pregnancy, including primary, secondary and tertiary care providers.
COMPETENCY CHECKLIST FOR THE SAFE ADMINISTRATION OF OROMUCOSAL (BUCCAL) MIDAZOLAM
ESNA would like to introduce the oromucosal midazolam competency checklist. It is a helpful tool to guide reviewers and their caregivers through the process of understanding a person’s seizures, their emergency protocol, and the importance of safe and practical administration of oromucosal midazolam.
Download the checklist pdf using the link provided and open with Adobe Acrobat in order to use the full functionality.
Additional documentation and instructions can be downloaded here:
This document serves as a guide for those purchasing, as well as delivering, training in the administration of Buccal Midazolam.
ESNA Executive Committee supports the use of an emergency interim measure during the situation of Covd-19 to assist in the prescribing of emergency medication.
ESNA’s latest guidelines outline important safety standards for first aid intervention while demonstrating the need for awareness, training and consistent review of epilepsy knowledge and protocol.
In collaboration with Virtual College we have created an online assessment tool to ensure to best practice is maintained in social care organisations when administering buccal midazolam.
