About this event

National Epilepsy Week runs from 20-26 May 2024 and will be taking place to raise awareness for those affected by epilepsy, what epilepsy is, who's affected and what can be done to help those who suffer from this condition.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain and causes recurring seizures or fits in people. Due to an uncontrolled increase of excess electrical activity in the brain interfering with the normal functions, this causes a short interruption to the relay of messages in the brain.
