Cork Epilepsy Ireland conference to hear details of UCC seizure protection project

The national conference of Epilepsy Ireland is taking place in Cork at the International Hotel on September 19.

It marks the first time since 2019 that the conference has been hosted in Cork, with a strong local flavour being reflected throughout the programme this year.

Attendees will hear about a University College Cork (UCC) research project, co-funded by Epilepsy Ireland, which is exploring seizure prediction. 

The Cork-born professor Norman Delanty, an internationally recognised leader in epilepsy treatment and care, will return to his native county to discuss what epilepsy care in Ireland could look like in 2040.
