A new @mbrrace report has found that #epilepsy and stroke accounted for 9% of deaths in pregnancy in the UK, with a lack of safety information and professional training resources cited as key factors: https://t.co/rmrBAmgPvN
More research is vital to protect mothers and babies.
The #EpilepsyResearchInstitute’s key research themes were informed by the #UKEpilepsyPSP and further scoped and developed by #Every1EndingEpilepsy. Meet the Theme Leads and find out how you can get involved in the task force groups here: https://t.co/8HjGtTS87o
The #EpilepsyResearchInstitute is pleased to announce the appointment of the Theme Leads driving the research strategy that will be central to the work of the Epilepsy Research Institute: https://t.co/PFwS5phYxy
Researchers, clinicians and healthcare professionals working in epilepsy recently came together for #ILAE2023, which saw the launch of the #EpilepsyResearchInstitute. It was inspiring to see the community united in our goal of radically advancing research:

Great meeting so far at #ILAE2023! Love discussing and getting feedback on our various projects in the lab on genetic epilepsies and anti-seizure medication impact in the early developing human brain @Every1Epilepsy@EpilepsyInst
What a day it's been at the @ILAEBRITISH Annual Scientific Meeting. Thank you to our Founding Partners, supporters and the research community for helping us launch the #EpilepsyResearchInstitute. Stay tuned for further updates on this pivotal moment for research into epilepsy…
The #EpilepsyResearchInstitute’s mission is to radically advance research for the 1 in 100 people living with epilepsy. The comprehensive research strategy developed by #Every1EndingEpilepsy will provide the foundation for this. Follow @EpilepsyInst for more updates
Our CEO @MaxineSmeaton responded to your questions about the #EpilepsyResearchInstitute and laid out our plans to radically advance research into epilepsy: https://t.co/wM2PVBcKlW

📢FINAL CALL📢
Last day to apply to become a Research Theme Lead and drive the development and integration of the four identified themes:
- Neurodevelopment
- Disease Modification & Therapeutics
- Mortality, Risk & Morbidity
- Reproduction & Hormones
https://t.co/6YYA44X8up…
As well as working on developing the task forces, the team has been producing a research roadmap which we will later publicise alongside a campaign to drive strategic investment. Stay up to date with the latest programme updates and opportunities here: https://t.co/ay24GB3SOJ
Creating four dedicated task forces for the identified research themes will enable us to effectively advocate and action the research priorities of people affected by epilepsy. This will bring us one step closer to radically advancing research into epilepsy.
Today, the Steering Group will be discussing in more detail what these task force groups will look like and how they will operate to fast-track research into epilepsy across the four overarching themes. (2/2)
The #Every1EndingEpilepsy Steering Group are meeting virtually today to discuss the next steps for the collaborative. Once the Theme Leads are in post for the four research themes, task forces will be created to drive the development of each research programme. (1/2)
