Epilepsy is a complex condition requiring ongoing care, and GPs must be aware of the long-term needs of the patient and the role of the multidisciplinary team in ensuring the patient maintains their quality of life. This three-part ALM provides comprehensive education on the initial assessment, identification and management of epilepsy, as well as the management of complex cases of epilepsy involving specific needs, and includes a patient review exercise to support specialist referral.

This module provides practical guidance in the management of epilepsy in patients with specific needs, such as children, adolescents and women planning pregnancy, as well as patients with stable epilepsy, and complex or refractory epilepsy.

This module will guide you through initial evaluation and investigation of suspected epilepsy, to facilitate early and effective specialist referral for confirmation of diagnosis and to initiate management.

Alcohol consumption is Australia’s second largest cause of preventable morbidity and mortality, yet problem drinking is poorly managed compared to other chronic conditions or lifestyle issues.
