We are delighted to invite you to a special event to launch the resources which have been developed as part of the Epilepsy Ireland supported EpiKNOW project.
Since the project began its work in 2022, researchers and subject matter experts have worked alongside women with epilepsy to identify the gaps which exist in terms of the information needs for women with epilepsy from preconception to postpartum – and have also worked to develop a suite of resources aimed at bridging this knowledge gap.
This event will be a celebration of the work which has been undertaken, and act as the official launch of the resources which have been developed. You will also hear directly from people involved in the project, speaking about what they found and the potential future implications of the project's work for women with with epilepsy in Ireland.
If you’d like to join us for this special event at the RCSI, please see further details below, including full agenda.
We look forward to welcoming you to the EpiKNOW showcase.
