National Epilepsy Week 2012

National Epilepsy Week runs from 20-26 May and we hope  you will help us mark the event - and celebrate our 120th birthday - with two projects:

* By contributing to our 'hopes for the future' time capsule, shown left with our interim medical director Professor Ley Sander and Professor Sanjay Sisodiya

* By displaying one of our 1 in 100 epilepsy awareness raising posters.

Taking the tablets survey

Asking you about epilepsy and medication

Managing epilepsy is more than ‘just taking the tablets’. Some people are happy taking medication and consider this part of managing their epilepsy. Others may be uncomfortable  or have concerns about taking medication.  Epilepsy Society, working  in partnership  with Professor Rob Horne, Centre for Behavioural Medicine, and The School of Pharmacy, University of London, has designed a survey to find out more about epilepsy and medication. > Take part in our survey
 

Just diagnosed

If you are newly diagnosed, our new just diagnosed pages cover the topics that people with epilepsy have told us  are most helpful when you are newly diagnosed.
