The event is designed to provide information and support for mums, dads and siblings of the 60,000 under 18s across the UK living with epilepsy as well as the young people themselves.

 

Talks and workshops will be delivered by a wide range of experienced professionals working in the field of epilepsy including Professor Helen Cross, epilepsy specialist nurses and psychologists. There will also be an exhibition where parents can learn about services and support from key organisations.

 

Also, the conference will once again host the very popular Teens Workshop for young people to give them the opportunity to learn with each other and share experiences with their peers.
