Next year, International Epilepsy Day 2025 will take place on February 10th – and Epilepsy Ireland have begun planning for the big day!
International Epilepsy Day is our biggest epilepsy awareness day of the year and is a day where we appeal to the public to learn more about epilepsy, a condition which affects over 45,000 people in Ireland. Every year, we seek to build a memorable campaign that will resonate with the public and increase their understanding and awareness of the condition.
In recent years, the campaign has focused on increasing awareness of seizure first aid and the key words of Time, Safe, Stay – so that the public know how to correctly respond to a seizure. The campaign is supported by our media volunteers sharing their stories about the lived experience of epilepsy to help educate the public about the condition.
While our campaigns have certainly had an impact in terms of increased awareness & understanding of epilepsy - we know that there is still much more work to do.
As we begin the planning process for next year’s International Epilepsy Day, we would appreciate a few moments of your time to complete our survey on what you feel is important to cover as part of the day. Having your views and thoughts will assist us greatly as we continue the planning process.
You can take our survey on the SurveyMonkey website via the button below.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us and be sure to save the date for International Epilepsy Day next year!
Together, we can achieve a society where no person’s life is limited by epilepsy.
