Match it to your seizure plan
Copy the wording from the plan your epilepsy nurse or doctor gave you. When your medication or plan changes, update the page. The band stays the same.
An epilepsy wristband with your seizure plan on it
When a seizure happens in public, bystanders often don't know what to do. One tap shows them what your seizures look like, what helps and when to call 999, in your own words.

The emergency button comes first
The button to call 999 sits at the top of the page, with your seizure information right below it.
Someone who knows you hears straight away
The moment the band is tapped, your contacts are alerted, so someone who knows you can talk to the person helping.
What you can include
- Your seizure type and what it looks like
- What to do, and when to call 999
- Medication
- Other conditions and allergies
- Who to call
Every detail is hidden until you switch it on, and you can change it at any time without a new band.
In an emergency, always call 999 first.
