Epilepsy is a neurological condition that can affect people for some of their life, or all of it.
As it can affect the brain and nervous system, it can have an extremely varied nature and so those who work in health and social care need to have an awareness of the condition and the actions that need to be taken if someone has a seizure.
There are around 40 different types of seizures and one in five people will have a seizure at some point during their life, although this might not necessarily be as a result of epilepsy.
