Epilepsy Alliance America connected caregivers of children with epilepsy to PRIME Education who participated in focus groups which contributed to the content of this program. Epilepsy Alliance America did not participate in the creation of the content beyond those introductions.  We share the training here as a resource for Health Care Providers to learn more about this important subject that directly impacts people with epilepsy. 

Optimizing Rescue Medication Management in Pediatric Epilepsy: Collaborative Strategies for Treatment and Seizure Action Planning

Intended Audience: Neurologists, pediatricians, primary care physicians, and their teams of NPs, PAs, nurses and pharmacists

Epilepsy is one of the most common pediatric neurologic conditions and poses a significant burden on both patients and their caregivers. Children experiencing acute repetitive or cluster seizures often require prompt administration of rescue medications to control seizures and prevent poor outcomes.

Developing seizure action plans and selecting appropriate medication are crucial steps to avoiding delays in acute treatment and reducing complications. However, healthcare providers face several challenges in creating comprehensive plans tailored to individual needs.

Join us in this expert-led session on:

• Real-world insights from caregivers who manage cluster seizures in their children
• Strategies to identify candidates for rescue treatments and developing personalized medication administration plans
• Considerations for medication selection and recent advancements in treatment options
• Collaborative approaches to developing seizure action plans with caregivers

Take the Training today.

Participants will also have access to a downloadable pocket guide designed for joint use with caregivers, highlighting key aspects of seizure care and action planning.
