What our clients say...

"I have received very positive feedback from the staff who attended. It has certainly changed attitudes especially towards students who have epilepsy but do not have seizures at college. It has raised awareness about the different types of seizures and how it may impact on the students and their lives. The delivery and pace were just right."
