Congratulations Epilepsy Action on your 60th birthday! Things have improved enormously for people with epilepsy in the United Kingdom since 1950. You have played an enormous part in this change, by promoting good clinical practice, disseminating accurate and truly helpful information, improving understanding and perception of epilepsy in the general population, and acting as advocates for people affected by the condition. So: Well done! There is much still to be achieved and I am confident that you will have a crucial role in bringing about the necessary improvements in the years to come.
