Surveys

One of the methods we use for deciding which campaigns we run is by asking our members and website visitors for their opinions on various subjects.

As the UK's leading epilepsy charity, we're also asked to help with recruitment for studies the our membership magazine 'Epilepsy Today', branches, online community and website. Before agreeing to publicise such projects all requests are thoroughly assessed to ensure that the studies are genuine and will ultimately benefit people with epilepsy.

Current survey

Fulfilling potential

We would like to hear the experiences of UK residents living with epilepsy as a disability.

Do you live in the UK? Have you had the vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) implant?

We want to collect evidence about VNS. We would like people to share with us their thoughts and experiences, good and bad, about the device.

What do you think makes a great adult epilepsy specialist nurse?

The Epilepsy Specialist Nurses Association is developing a list of the skills and knowledge that an epilepsy specialist nurse should have. This will help employers and new nurses to meet the needs of people with epilepsy.
