Epilepsy Action is delighted with today’s announcement that four surgical centres have been named to provide specialist paediatric epilepsy surgery across England.
Bristol Royal Infirmary, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Great Ormond Street Hospital and Manchester/Alder Hey have been named by the Department of Health. The hospitals will carry out all operations on children suitable for surgery with difficult to control epilepsy.
Epilepsy Action, the UK’s largest member-led epilepsy organisation, is celebrating a photo exhibition and a volunteer award at the BVSC during National Epilepsy Week. The aim is to raise awareness of epilepsy and show that there is more to people with epilepsy than the condition itself.
The celebration will take place on Thursday 24 May 2012 at BVSC, 138 Digbeth, Birmingham, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. It’s free and open to all.
The exhibition, titled “I am more than epilepsy”, was created Tom Robinson, from Solihull.
