Psychotherapist @JoySchaverien tells @TomSwarbrick1 that those who are sent to boarding school often 'have a childhood without love'.
The @SCN1AHorizons neuropsychology team met for an inspiring away day in Manchester. Very moving & informative talks from Galia and Claire @DravetUK and the entire team! So much to learn on #SCN1A related #Epilepsy#Genetics . Many thanks to the Manchester team for hosting us!
Prof Sanjay Sisodiya talks us through the steps that clinicians can take and the challenges faced when making a #diagnosis of #DravetSyndrome.

Dravet syndrome is a Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy (DEE) - a severe epilepsy with frequent and difficult to treat seizures and significant developmental delays. We asked Galia Wilson from @DravetUK, what she’d like people to take away this #DravetAwarenessDay. Watch her message below! #EPNS2023
Today is #DravetAwarenessDay.
Dravet Syndrome is a devastating and life-limiting epilepsy that affects one in every 15,000 people in the UK.
We asked families who live with Dravet Syndrome to tell us what it means to them in one word.

We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.
Feeding difficulties in #DravetSyndrome are common & gastrostomy is often required; @DravetUK chair Galia Wilson & Dr Lisa Clayton present results of our care-giver survey @BPNA_org #BPNA2023. Outcomes post-gastrostomy were positive, with many benefits reported by caregivers.
Even though our @nhs is starved of resources, thank you @WhitHealth for curing me on New Year’s Eve, within two hours of arrival at A&E. Today they operating on my very poorly son who has complex medical needs. Where on earth would we be without you? #protectournhs
We’re delighted to introduce our new Director, Sarah Pearce. Sarah brings a wealth of experience in the sector, including previous leadership roles at Mencap, the Epilepsy Society & Faversham Counselling Services.
