Policy Work

What We Think

We aim to make a positive difference to people with epilepsy. We do this by letting policy makers know what we think on policy which has an impact, either directly or indirectly, on people affected by epilepsy.

All of the policy work that we do is based on evidence. Evidence comes from a variety of sources; from our members, from our Helpline, from our clinical contacts and from partner organisations.

If you would like to give us your views and ideas on, for example, policy that you see as unfair, discriminatory or in need of review please

email: erazi@epilepsyscotland.org.uk

Briefings

We have various briefing papers which give our views about issues of public concern. These will be updated on an ongoing basis so if you want to be kept informed of any updates please email: erazi@epilepsyscotland.org.uk
