Researchers from Maynooth University are inviting adults in Ireland with epilepsy to take part in a new study exploring the timing and storage of daily anti-seizure medication (ASMs). The study, called TimeAlign, is investigating whether the time of day and the regularity that people with epilepsy take their medication affects their seizure control.
We are looking forward to meeting with the Department of Health over the coming weeks to discuss one of our key advocacy campaigns.
June 23rd is Dravet Syndrome Awareness Day.
We've begun planning for International Epilepsy Day 2026 and would like your feedback!
We have commenced the hiring process for the newly created position of Partnerships & Philanthropy Officer.
We are delighted to have published a new resource for parents living with epilepsy to help explain the condition to their toddlers or young children. The resource has been written by a parent living with epilepsy and one of our media volunteers, Nicole McCarthy.
Nicole was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2016 and when her daughter Amelia was two years old, Nicole realised that it was difficult to speak to her about what was happening to her when she had a seizure.
We've launched a fun new module on our e-learning platform EpiLearn - that can see you get a "degree" in minutes!
Congratulations to Professor David Henshall, who has been named as a recipient of the Ambassador for Epilepsy award by the International League Against Epilepsy.
With this week being #EpilepsyWeek, it is a perfect opportunity to let us know what types of research we should be supporting.
In a new paper recently published in the medical journal, Epilepsia, the International League Against Epilepsy have published new terminology for the classification of seizures to be used going forward.
The last update to seizure classification terminology came in 2017 and in this latest update, there are now four main seizures classes and 21 seizure types – this is down from the 63 seizure types that were listed in the 2017 version.
