Epilepsy Action Information Reviewers (EAIRs)
Become an Epilepsy Action Information Reviewer (EAIR)
Would you like to have a say about our advice and information materials? We are looking for people who would be willing to review our publications.
As a member-led organisation, Epilepsy Action believes it is important that people with epilepsy, or those who care for someone with epilepsy, have an opportunity to help us shape the future of our advice and information materials.
We want to recruit a number of people to become an Epilepsy Action Information Reviewer – an EAIR. As an EAIR, you will have the opportunity to give us feedback on our publications at different stages of their development.
What will I have to do as an EAIR?
We will ask you to complete a short, simple form, about a particular Epilepsy Action title. See a sample form here.
What is my commitment to Epilepsy Action?
You will agree to review at least one out of every five titles for review. You can review more if you want to. We will not ask you to review more than 12 titles during the course of a year.
What is Epilepsy Action’s commitment to you?
As an EAIR, we will listen to what you tell us and act on your suggestions where appropriate.
What experience or skills do I need to become an EAIR?
If you or a family member have epilepsy, or you care for someone with epilepsy, you have the experience we are looking for. You don’t need any special skills, but you do need to have an interest in epilepsy information. You also need access to the Internet and an email address where we can contact you.
How do I apply?
We want to recruit a wide cross-section of people, so we need you to tell us a little about yourself. Please complete the online application form. If you have any queries about becoming an EAIR, you can contact us at: eairs@epilepsy.org.uk.
What happens next?
We will consider your application and let you know if you have been accepted as an EAIR.

Hi, for a change this is part good news and hope for all Epiletics.
I have been FIT free for 10 years yes 10 years although still on a lot of medication. I have a normal life hold down a good job you would never know I had a problem of any kind.
I am now taking driving lesson so I can advance my career and get around more.
My driving has not affected me in anyway if anything I would say it makes me a better driver as I am more aware of everything around me.
I am lucky I have a good teacher so I find driving fun and relax. I have come on so much within 2 months I am taking my Theroey Test this month if I pass I will take my driving test next month.
I do object that NO matter what you do as an Epiletic things are made harder for you,
eg Driving or Jobs
People say we can have a fit at the wheel anytime but I say to them so could they or god forbid a heart attack so why are we so different.
No wonder some people keep it a secret but trust me you true friends won't care.
IT IS TIME WE STOP PAYING FOR BEING AND EPILEPTIC. We don't get much help like other dissabled people yet we are treated worse.
AGAIN
I am lucky my friends even say they are happy to travel with me after I have passed my test and the only thing they are nervous of is my driving well can't fault them on that. So I am very happy
Good luckto all Epileptics and the families and try everything but always be safe.
