Empowerment, Education and Expertise for all epilepsy professionals.
ESNA is the national professional organisation for all nurses supporting people with epilepsy.
There are a number of regional groups
who meet regularly to discuss latest
developments in epilepsy, provide
networking opportunities, peer support
and CPD.
We are nurses and other health
professionals working to support
people with epilepsy.
We raise the profile of epilepsy and
promote an holistic and
multi-disciplinary approach.
Our own YouTube Channel was there to capture the highlights of the conference.
Videos are now available on the Conferences and Events page.

Buccal midazolam is widely used to manage prolonged seizures. Administration should only be undertaken by people who have received both epilepsy awareness and buccal midazolam training. It is recommended that there are two-yearly updates on this training. The administration of buccal midazolam must be delivered in accordance with the individual’s protocol/guidelines. All carers of people with epilepsy should receive epilepsy awareness training. In addition if the person with epilepsy is prescribed buccal midazolam, additional training in its administration must be undertaken.
These guidelines have evolved to ensure the safety of people with epilepsy, and to ensure that those who require buccal midazolam receive a consistent level of knowledge and intervention from their carers. These guidelines will be evaluated prior to the next revision in two years’ time.
This free service connects a trained volunteer befriender to people affected by epilepsy.
The volunteer offers a friendly listening ear and helps the person to work through any difficulties or challenges they may be experiencing due to epilepsy.
