Promoting awareness

Promoting awareness

We strive to raise awareness to combat ignorance, misunderstanding and the stigma attached to epilepsy. We support  everyone with epilepsy by providing up to date information on all aspects of living with the condition.  Through our national outreach programme, we provide face to face support, help and information as well as running a dedicated helpline offering emotional support to anyone who wants to talk about epilepsy.

Regional activities

We provide support nationwide through our Epilepsy Information Network (EIN), which helps people affected by epilepsy.

Schools awareness programme

NSE volunteers are specially trained to present a programme in schools across the country to increase understanding of epilepsy among children and young people.

Epilepsy information

Our information about epilepsy is available on this website.  In addition, you can order our leaflets, factsheets, books and videos from the online shop or phone 01494 601 392.

Epilepsy helpline

Our helpline is a confidential service that offers information and listening support. It is staffed by trained operators with an in-depth knowledge of epilepsy and related issues.

Press office

NSE’s press office participates in specific campaigns and ongoing media relations to actively promote epilepsy issues. This includes offering support to press, TV and radio journalists to ensure relevant and accurate information about epilepsy is conveyed.
