Epilepsy Information Network (EIN)
-
Last modified date:8 February 2007
The National Society for Epilepsy established an Epilepsy Information Network in 2000. It aims to meet the information needs of people with epilepsy and their carers. The EIN provides epilepsy information through epilepsy information services in neurology and paediatric outpatient departments and other healthcare settings, such as community clinics, health centres and healthy living centres, as well as a few residential settings for people with learning disabilities.
The service uses various methods of delivering information to the wider community including information stands in shopping centres and libraries, and through volunteers giving presentations to schools to help raise awareness of epilepsy.
The EIN has produced the following tools:
- training programmes for volunteers working in medical settings
- training for volunteers in presentation skills
- policies and procedures for volunteers
- Schools Awareness Programme.
