Letter to Editor, National Epilepsy Week

3 April, 2007

Dear Sir/Madam,

Epilepsy Action is searching for a successful, high profile professional to spearhead a campaign on employment to mark this year’s National Epilepsy Week (May 20-26). And it could be one of your readers.

Due to a lack of understanding among employers and the general public many people with epilepsy rarely admit to having the condition. The person we are looking for will act as a role model for the 456,000 people with epilepsy in the UK, many of whom face discrimination in the workplace.
