The Encephalitis Society is able to offer tailor-made training packages to health
and social care professionals. These packages cover various aspects of encephalitis
and can include modules such as:
- What is encephalitis?
- Diagnosis, Treatment and After Effects
- Recovery and Rehabilitation
- The Work of the Society
The priority for the Society is raising awareness and improving outcomes for people
affected, therefore at the moment we do not charge for these training sessions.
However if the organisation is able to cover expenses we would be most grateful
and some organisations kindly offer a donation towards the work of the Society.
Training can be anything from 2 hours to a full day and we do not have restrictions
on the number of participants. Some organisations and health trusts arrange 2 or
3 days interspersed throughout the year so they can accommodate all the necessary
staff.
Dear Ava
I am writing to thank you for the excellent training you provided for us. I have
had so much positive feedback from various members of staff, from Rehabilitation
Support Workers to Psychologists. All have been unanimous in their praise for the
way the training was prepared, and the manner in which it was presented, which made
it understandable to everyone.
I was wondering if you would be interested in holding future sessions for us, we
still have a large number of staff who would benefit greatly form increasing their
knowledge of this disease and it's effects. . . .

Further Information
Child Brain Injury Trusts, 'Don't Judge a book by its cover” is now fully accredited by APIL (Association
of Personal Injury Lawyers).
Members can gain 5 CPD hours by attending this workshop
Child Brain Injury Trusts know that the quality of support and capability of those
within the school can have a major impact on the outcomes for a child or young person.
They acknowledge that very few educational staff have any awareness or understanding
of the issues that a child may face on their return to school, as this is not covered
by any basic training, even for Special Educational Needs staff.
The Child Brain Injury Trust’s training on childhood acquired brain injury aims
to fill this gap in knowledge. The workshops provide a no-nonsense, jargon free
approach to childhood acquired brain injury.
