We have initiated 13 new research projects, adding to 20 active projects spanning the clinical, educational and social elements of paediatric epilepsy. We have published 110 peer-reviewed items of primary research and a further 54 chapters in books, reviews and commentaries of expert opinion.
This report features a spotlight on a truly innovative project which will change the UK’s diagnostic and surgical evaluation imaging suite for childhood epilepsy. The MEG Project is a collaboration, arising from the 2019 Paediatric Epilepsy Research Retreat, which will culminate in the world’s first functional magnetically shielded room and OP-MEG system at Young Epilepsy’s headquarters in Surrey. It will be the first MEG system accessible to children and people with complex needs without sedation.
