As part of their drive to improve medicine safety, NHS England is looking for real life stories from people with epilepsy who may have had a bad experience getting their medicines in the past but have since had a better experience thanks to the help of NHS staff.

They would like to hear about the consequences of the bad experience but also, importantly, how the good experience has made a difference to your life and why getting the medication you need is so important.

Please either comment here or email us at press.office@epilepsysociety.org.uk Thank you.

Calling all parents of children and young people living with epilepsy 📣

We’re building the ultimate travel advice guide, but we can't do it with you.

Whether you're a seasoned explorer or just back from your first family trip, your experience could make all the difference to another parent. We’d love to hear your responses to these questions:
- What’s always in your travel bag? Any comfort items or must-haves that help your child feel more secure?
- What’s your experience been like with airport security and your child’s epilepsy?
- Have you noticed any differences in how epilepsy is supported abroad?
- Has your child ever had a seizure while travelling? What happened and what helped?
- What’s your go-to advice for parents preparing to travel with a child who lives with epilepsy?
- Do you have any epilepsy-friendly destinations or hotels you’d recommend to others?

💬 Share your tips and stories in the comments. We'll be using some of your advice in a handy blogpost to help more young people living with epilepsy feel confident when travelling.

Although cerebral palsy is non-progressive, it is a lifelong condition with most children now expected to live into late adulthood. Transitioning from paediatric services to adult care, however, unfortunately often highlights gaps in continuity and expertise, leaving individuals navigating fragmented healthcare systems with unmet needs.
