Buccal Midazolam Administration
This 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.
If you are planning to take this course, we recommend that you take our "Epilepsy Awareness" course first. If you feel you have plenty of epilepsy knowledge, you could just take the assessment to check and see if there are any areas you need to refresh on.
Who should take this course?
This course has been designed specifically for Care and Support Workers working in a social care setting. It may also be useful to a wider audience of those who support people with epilepsy and would like to know more about the administration of buccal midazolam.
