This week I had the privilege to discuss how Dr Simon Potter                            (Adult/paediatric emergency Consultant) approaches paediatric seizures. Simon gave away some gold in the episode and discussed some important points that all clinicians can take back to their workplace. Themes that were raised are below, 

• What to do when a child is having a seizures 

• Why Glucose and ECG's are important

• First line, second line and third line therapy in paediatric seizures. 

• Parental Education 

• When do we have permission to do nothing
