Individual Healthcare Plans (IHPs)

Some individuals with epilepsy will have an Individual Healthcare Plan or care plan in place. This document outlines how their condition should be managed and what to do in the event of a seizure.

An IHP may include:

Type of seizures experienced
Typical seizure duration
Known triggers
Medication details
When to call emergency services
Emergency contact information

Note:

Be aware if a care plan exists
Follow the plan if available
Do not administer medication unless trained and authorised
Escalate concerns according to workplace or school policy

Detailed guidance on creating and managing care plans is covered in the Epilepsy Awareness course.
