The National Society for Epilepsy (NSE) would like to inform readers with an interest in the condition about a conference which will focus on the need to be treated properly.
‘Epilepsy – treating you right’ will concentrate on ways to get the right information, diagnosis and treatment.
NSE’s Professor Sanjay Sisodiya, a top epilepsy specialist and consultant neurologist, will be one of the key speakers at the event.
Places for the charity’s second national conference, which takes place on September 25 at University College Hospital Education Centre in central London, are limited, so we would urge anyone who is interested to get in touch quickly.
Tickets are £30 and more information is available by phoning 01494 601402 or by visiting www.epilepsysociety. org.uk.
Epilepsy is the most common serious neurological condition in this country, affecting more than 456,000 men, women and children – about one in every 130 people.
It touches the lives of 10% of the UK population and can affect anyone of any race or age at any time in their life.
In addition to having to cope with seizures, it can make people feel vulnerable, isolated and stigmatized.
