In all cases of seizure:

  1. time the seizure
  2. cushion their head 
  3. don’t move them unless in a dangerous place 
  4. don’t hold them down 
  5. don’t put anything in their mouth
  6. put them in the recovery position after they stop shaking
  7. stay with them until they recover and their breathing is normal

What to do when there is no collapse?

Some people have seizures where they are blank or confused, wander around, or make strange movements keep them safe speak quietly and calmly

When to call an ambulance:

  1. if the seizure is longer than 5 minutes
  2. if another seizure starts straight after the first
  3. if breathing is difficult after the seizure stops
  4. if they are injured time
