With temperatures rising and extreme weather events like heatwaves occurring more frequently, we would like to hear from you about how climate change is affecting people with epilepsy.
Does hot weather trigger more frequent or severe seizures?
Are your living conditions making the heat harder to manage?
How does the heat affect your wellbeing—and how do you cope?
Professor Sanjay Sisodiya, who is leading research into how climate change affects people with epilepsy, has created a survey which takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Your answers will be invaluable in building a clearer picture of what people with epilepsy face during extreme weather and will help guide efforts to improve safety during adverse weather events and ensure you have the best possible seizure control.

How is any business, health service, public sector or individual suppose to get to work if this keeps happening.
If centralisation and moving key services to Carmarthen & Swansea is the way it’s going to be - how are the essential workers suppose to get there.
Most nursing shifts start at 7/7.30am - this first train is the main artery and yet it regularly gets cancelled from Milford/ Haverfordwest.
If someone comments use the car …. Most nhs staff can’t afford to run a car the 64miles a day , 5 days a week.
Some hard working nurse wants to clock off but she can’t ’cause her colleague is stuck on a platform waiting an hour and a half for the next train !
Come on guys; get the infrustructure working.

Social Inclussion, Promoting Independence and Well being for ALL.
The aim of Halcyon training is to enable care providers to develop a workforce that is knowledgeable in the principles of promoting independence, social inclusion and citizenship for young people with a Learning Disability, whether they live independently with assessed support needs, live in supported tenancies, live in residential care or remain at home living with parents.
The principles goals of the workshops are to enhance the workforces knowledge and skills base, enabling them to support individuals with mild to profound learning disabilities who may also have an underlying mental health or physical health conditions.
The training is designed to assist the carer to recognize the different approaches that can be utilized to enable individuals to achieve equitable access to primary health care, social and community inclusion, especially if there are barriers to effective communication and reasonable adjustments are required.
Halcyon Training is about enabling and empowering individuals with disabilities to be heard, seen and supported the way they are entitled to be.
Current workshops available for booking are:
1.Health and well being - for staff supporting individuals with Learning Disabilities who also have an underlying health condition, ie Heart, Respiratory, Diabetes, Gastro Intestinal and Cancer / life limiting conditions,
2.Epilepsy Workshops - from basic introductions to epilepsy care in social care settings for support staff to advanced workshops for those who support individuals under specialist neurological services with specific person centred rescue plans and ABI.
3. Living with Cancer - Screening, Check 4 Change, Diagnosis, Options and choices, consent for treatment and capacity. Palliative care and advance directives.
4. Profound and Multiple Disabilities - a workshop that supports all the above in relation to inclusion and empowerment but focuses in more depth on Human Rights, Communication, Capacity, Choices and intimate Personal care.
5.Autism and Well Being - “Not all behaviour is because of Autism, some behaviour is pain, disease or neurological” - Early death is highlighted in those who have sensory and communication differences, the workshop aims to encourage support staff to take a 360 view of those who present with behaviours or changed behaviours.
I am a retired Learning Disability Nurse, with 30 years experience within NHS Learning Disability services and continue to maintain my registration through attending COPD accredited workshops and by keeping a reflective journal.
