Epilepsy conference aimed at teens

A CONFERENCE aimed at teenagers with epilepsy is set to take place in Cork.

The conference, the first of its kind in Ireland, is organised by the Cork and Kerry offices of Brainwave, the support group for people with epilepsy.

Several experts have been lined up to address the conference and they will focus on specific areas of interest to young people, such as career guidance, minimising the impact of epilepsy, and the safe and correct use of medications.
