The Epilepsy Management Plan and Emergency Medication Management Plan forms are provided in PDF format. This makes them easily accessible to everyone. To work properly, the forms must be opened using Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free application that you can easily download. Unfortunately, opening them with other applications, including your web browser will disable some parts of the forms.

STEP 3:GET YOUR PLAN ENDORSED | All plans need to be endorsed by a medical practitioner. The plan can be endorsed by a GP, neurologist, paediatrician or other relevant medical practitioner.
|
STEP 4:IS EMERGENCY MEDICATION PRESCRIBED? | If no – you are all done! Provide your endorsed management plan to those who may need to support you or the person you are supporting during a seizure. If yes – you will require an Emergency Medication Management Plan (EMMP) relevant to the emergency medication you have been prescribed. Contact your medical practitioner for assistance in completing and endorsing this document. Alternatively, you can contact the National Epilepsy Support Service on 1300 761 487 for a referral to a local epilepsy support organisation.
|
STEP 5:REVIEW YOUR PLAN | Your plan will need to be reviewed annually according to the date on the document unless there are any changes to seizure presentations or if emergency medication has been introduced. |
