This collaborative initiative between Gold Coast Health, Queensland Ambulance Service and schools to provide an individualised ambulance management plan for young people with functional neurological disorders, including pseudoseizures.
This means that when a young person has an episode at school or in the community that they can be taken home to recover rather than being brought to the emergency department, significantly reducing their time spent in an acute hospital setting.
