Parents and carers of children with complex epilepsy from across the UK are invited to attend an Information Day so they can learn more about the condition.
The day-long event in the West Midlands is a joint venture between Young Epilepsy and Matthew’s Friends. It offers an opportunity to increase understanding of complex epilepsy and meet other families in a similar situation.
Young Epilepsy chief executive David Ford said it will give anyone caring for a child with complex epilepsy the “rare chance to hear from psychologists, consultants and specialist epilepsy nurses. “
He said: “We know parents and carers find these events useful and we encourage anyone raising a child with complex epilepsy to attend.”
Emma Williams the chief executive of Matthew’s Friends said: “As a mother of a child with complex epilepsy, I know the struggles families go through every day. Practical information and support will help empower a family to work effectively with all the different professionals they will encounter during their child’s life and this information day will hopefully help to do just that; empower the family.”
The Information Day is on Saturday 13th October at St John’s Hotel, Warwick Road, Solihull. For further information see youngepilepsy.org.uk
