Postgraduate Course In Epilepsy Practice

Epilepsy Action has joined forces with Leeds Metropolitan University to provide an MSc postgraduate course in epilepsy practice.

The online distance learning course has been developed by the university’s Centre for Community Neurological Studies, working closely with Epilepsy Action. Epilepsy Action has provided financial support and has been involved in the recruitment of Fiona Mckinnon as lecturer practitioner in epilepsy.  It will also provide ongoing support and access to resources.

The course will enable health and social care professionals to study at times suited to them, wherever they are.  Students will be able to study a single module or complete the full MSc.

Until now, opportunities for postgraduate study in this specialist area have really been limited to research degrees or broader programmes.  The e-learning approach pioneered by Leeds Met brings together information and practice experience from students across the UK and in other parts of the world, providing academic study and a forum for professional development.
