First aid for seizures  

What would you do if you saw someone having a convulsive seizure?

Would you know what first aid to give?

Our first aid information explains clearly what to do, and what not to do, if someone has a convulsive seizure. It tells you in which specific situations you might need to call an ambulance.

There is also information about what help to give for other types of seizure.
