At Epilepsy Scotland we have a dedicated policy team to maximise our political impact and help improve the lives of people with epilepsy. We regularly work with politicians and act as secretariat to the Cross-Party Group on epilepsy at the Scottish Parliament.To strengthen our message, we develop campaigns to build publicity and try to influence decision makers.
We regularly need the help of people with epilepsy to inform our policy work.
Previous engagement has allowed us to better respond to government consultations and paint a better picture to decision makers about what it is like to live with epilepsy.
