Epilepsy Community Outreach Service - Fife

We can advocate on an employee’s behalf if epilepsy becomes problematic in the workplace, and we offer advice and training to employers so they know what appropriate steps to take should they have an employee who lives with epilepsy.

Training Delivery

Quarriers are particularly proud to present our pioneering ‘Epilepsy: Train the Trainer’ programme. This is delivered at the state of the art William Quarrier Scottish Epilepsy Centre and all Outreach workers have been trained to this high standard.

Epilepsy Community Outreach provide training in epilepsy awareness and the administration of rescue medication based on personal epilepsy care plans, to carers and loved ones of people living with epilepsy free of charge.
We can deliver free epilepsy awareness workshops to various places within local communities in order that people living with epilepsy are safe.

We deliver Epilepsy and Rescue Medication courses to other voluntary and statutory organisations who may work with people living with epilepsy. Please contact Norma Crawford for further information and costings.

Raising awareness

We seek to raise awareness of epilepsy and by doing so, reduce the stigma that people with epilepsy still face. We involve people we support in making decisions and planning, working together with families, health services, social services and other voluntary organisations to meet their goals.

Support as and when you need it

Where possible we are able to offer support to people living with epilepsy before and after assessment at the William Quarrier Scottish Epilepsy Centre

For some, our intervention may be brief, and they can continue with their life, having the information and support they need. For others, our input will be longer term, especially if they have epilepsy plus any co-existing condition, such as a learning disability, mental health problem or physical disability.

Epilepsy Outreach is provided free to clients. It is partly funded by the NHS and Health & Social Care Partnerships. The remainder of the funding needed comes for voluntary donations and Grants.

If you are living with epilepsy or caring for or supporting someone with epilepsy, please get in touch.
