> Who we are

“Epilepsy Explained” was developed by Sally-Ann Remnant who has a wealth of training and nursing expertise in epilepsy.

Following a high demand for education in epilepsy care, she felt it was time to offer specialised training services.

Sally-Ann has encouraged several senior nurse specialists to join her and to share their expertise in epilepsy and clinical training.

> Why do we offer this service?

Epilepsy (repetitive unprovoked seizures) is often complex and can affect the person on so many levels. Some people manage their condition with the support of family and friends, and with the addition of alarms that can connect to emergency services. Other people are dependent on full time carers to keep them safe from prolonged seizures that can be dangerous and in some cases fatal. In light of this care need, professional carers should be equipped with a good understanding of epilepsy and a confidence in dealing with emergency seizures.

The Metropolitan Police

"Working with Sally-Ann after a surprise meeting at ILAE a few years ago has been and continues to be a delight. Sally-Ann was recently featured on the Epilepsy Sparks Insights podcast and videos series and her warmth mixed with candidness on the topic of constipation was brilliant, leading to a brilliant response from listeners/viewers. Sally-Ann is such an empathetic, caring person - which I feel both professionally and as a person with epilepsy; hence I look forward to continuing to work with her."

Torie RobinsonCEO, Epilepsy Sparks

"Thank you for all of your expertise in assisting us to gain our CQC Outstanding 2017."

Mike KeighleyFormer CEO, The Meath Epilepsy Charity

"The Continuing Healthcare Team sourced epilepsy training with Sally-Ann for one of our clients to ensure that the care team supporting him had a good understanding of epilepsy and medications used. The training session was greatly interactive and was bespoke to our client needs. There was a mix of carers and nurses at the training and Sally-ann taught us in such a balanced way. We were very happy that we could use this training session towards our nursing revalidation. I have recommended Sally-Ann to our team for any future training needs in Epilepsy- we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you"
