SPECIALIST EPILEPSY NURSING SUPPORT AND STAFF TRAINING
Safer Seizure Support, Guided by Your GP’s Plan
Heal at Home provides epilepsy nursing assessments, seizure support and staff training for children, adults and older Australians living in private homes and community based supported accommodation.
Our registered nurses review the current GP completed Seizure Management Plan and Emergency Medication Management Plan, assess the client’s nursing support needs and provide participant specific education and staff training. With your consent, we can work with your family, GP, neurologist, pharmacist, support workers and care provider to support safe and consistent epilepsy management.
