Epilepsy Northland invites you to attend one of our free seminars taking place every third Friday of the month for the next three months in Whangarei.
This course empowers you with the knowledge that you are doing the right thing if someone has a seizure in your care. It will help you recognize and understand all types of seizures. The course is suitable for people with epilepsy, their whanau, teachers, carers, nurses, doctors, bus & taxi drivers and the general public. (Certificate of attendance given)

Minnie’s presentation on Be Accessibe was truly inspiring. disappointing to see those most in need of ‘enlightenment’ were absent….a great build up for the RWC and way beyond so up to those who did attend to be vocal! and spread the Be word!
