OPEN UK (Organisation of Paediatric Epilepsy Networks in the UK)

OPEN UK aims to unite children's regional and national epilepsy networks to improve integrated care for children and young people with epilepsies, and has representation from all regional epilepsy networks.

It also aims to:

• encourage collaboration and sharing of regional and national ideas, pilots, and resources
• be a national resource and professional UK body to which other organisations may come for information, support, data and strategic or clinical input
• facilitate links to local, regional and national funding bodies.

The current chair of the OPEN UK Working Group is Dr Richard Brown.
