The SAMS and Epilepsy Awareness combined course allows learners to complete two essential healthcare-related training courses in one structured programme.
This combined course brings together Safe Administration of Medications and Epilepsy Awareness with Buccal Midazolam to support staff who are involved in medication support and seizure management as part of their role.
The course is delivered in a practical, instructor-led format and is designed to support safe practice, improve confidence, and reduce risk in care and healthcare settings. Learners complete both modules on the same day and receive two separate certificates on successful completion.
The combined format reduces training time and supports organisations who need staff trained across both areas in a consistent and structured way.
