Epilepsy support
You can access a range of epilepsy information on our website to help those affected by epilepsy.
Our Heroes
These are our Heroes. Many of you will be familiar with our Medical Director, Professor Ley Sander. During the COVID-19 pandemic Ley and our team of professors have been working on the front line to beat the virus and to protect those living with epilepsy. Today we’re asking you join our heroes by becoming a home hero.
Due to current circumstances in relation to the coronavirus some of our services have been reduced with our staff working from home. Despite this our top priority at Epilepsy Society is to support people living with epilepsy. In the next coming weeks, you may notice a slight change in our communications. For the time being, we will focus our efforts on making sure you have all the information you need from us to help you as best we can in the current climate.
