About
We aim to amplify the voices of children and young people with epilepsies and bring professionals together to support the ongoing quality improvement in paediatric epilepsy care in England and Wales.
Hosted by Epilepsy12 and OPEN UK, this conference serves as a pivotal platform to address critical issues, exchange knowledge and shape the future of epilepsy care in the United Kingdom.
Epilepsy12 is a national clinical audit programme committed to enhancing the quality of care for children and young people with epilepsy in the UK. By collating data, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing evidence-based strategies, Epilepsy12 aims to drive positive change and optimise outcomes for those living with epilepsy.
OPEN UK (Organisation of Paediatric Epilepsy Networks in the UK) is dedicated to improving the lives of children and young people with epilepsy through collaboration, innovation and advocacy. By facilitating networking among healthcare professionals, sharing best practices, and promoting research, OPEN UK strives to advance epilepsy care and support across the UK.
