Join us for SUDEP Action Day - 23 October - a dedicated international day which brings organisations and people together to raise awareness of SUDEP worldwide. We do know that 42% of all epilepsy deaths are potentially avoidable, so it is vital people with the condition know how to reduce their risks and improve safety. Take a look at the SUDEPActionDay.org website for more epilepsy risk information, resources and ways you can get involved in the global event.
