Buccal Midazolam Administration eLearning course

This online training course has been written by a specialist nurse following the Epilepsy Nurses Association (ESNA) best practice guidelines for training professional carers in the administration of buccal (oromucosal) midazolam. These are big and complex words and we will start with understanding what they mean.
