International Epilepsy Day is our biggest awareness raising day of the year and is one where we appeal to the public to take the time to learn more about epilepsy and vital information such as seizure first aid.
We will have a new public facing campaign this year which will be launched in the lead up to the day and on the day itself, but it is very important that people with epilepsy use their voice and social media channels to help us amplify the key messages from the campaign.
To find out how you can help support our awareness raising efforts, visit the awareness section of our website.
