We are proud to be at the International Epilepsy Congress in Lisbon this week.
It's inspiring to connect with clinicians, researchers, advocates and innovators from around the world who share our commitment to empowering global epilepsy research and care, together. @ilae-epilepsy.bsky.social

Fascinating plenary talk at #AEC2025 from Professor Joseph Raimondo, University of Cape Town entitled "Justifying basic science in Africa - implications for clinical practice".

This morning at #AEC2025 we heard from the Epilepsy Pathway Innovation in Africa (EPInA) team. From 2019 to 2024, the EPInA team worked in Accra, Nairobi, Kilifi, and Mahenge, aiming to improve all aspects of the #epilepsy treatment pathway: prevention, diagnosis, treatment and awareness

The Artificial Intelligence Workshop at #AEC2025 in Zambia brought together researchers working in #AI with people affected by #epilepsy to develop priorities for the future of AI and epilepsy in Africa

A wonderful welcome to the 5th African Epilepsy Congress in Lusaka, Zambia! 🇿🇲 #AEC2025

Last week we were delighted to welcome colleagues to the Oxford Masterclass in Epileptology at Corpus Christi College, @ox.ac.uk. The masterclass theme was "Epilepsy and big data", with talks from leading experts and insightful discussion panels. Thanks to all who attended! #epilepsy

To celebrate Purple Day, we sat down with Dr Gift Ngwende, Taurai Kadzviti and @io4na.bsky.social (University of Oxford) to discuss global epilepsy across research, care and lived experience.

Chief Executive Professor Arjune Sen joined Professor Kevin Talbot at today's @ndcnoxford.bsky.social Lunchtime Newsround. They discussed the value of global collaboration, sleep, ageing and the Centre’s long-term goals. Thanks to the audience for their insightful questions and discussion topics!

Today the team taught the first ETAM course to 48 local faculty and delegates. They learned about essential topics such as diagnosis, treatment and patient care strategies. The course aims to increase #epilepsy expertise in resource-limited settings to improve outcomes for people with epilepsy.

This week Centre for Global Epilepsy team members and collaborators have traveled to Harare, Zimbabwe, to help deliver the #Epilepsy Training in Adult Medicine (ETAM) and Solving Stigma in Epilepsy courses.

Today is International #EpilepsyDay

🌍 50 million people worldwide live with #epilepsy
⚠️ 85% lack access to accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment

We must work together to close the diagnostic and treatment gaps and improve the lives of people affected by epilepsy across the globe
