Did you know that around 81 people in Sweden live with epilepsy? Even though many do not achieve seizure freedom with their treatment and the cause of epilepsy is often unknown, the disease is still surrounded by many myths. To increase awareness and spread knowledge, the Lund Epilepsy Society and the Epilepsy Center at Lund University invite you to activities and lectures. There will be lectures on why epilepsy medicine can be tiring, advanced image analysis, 000T MRI, in epilepsy investigations and on the role of the epilepsy nurse. In addition to lectures, there will be a tips walk and mini-lectures about ongoing research. Free admission, no pre-registration required.
