In the UK, at least 1,000 people with epilepsy die each year. In this powerful and informative podcast, journalist Angela Walker sits down with Jane Hanna OBE from SUDEP Action, who says many of these deaths could be prevented if changes were made in by the NHS, in local healthcare management and if care for the the condition was properly funded by the government.

Angela and Jane delve deeper into the risk factors associated with SUDEP and discuss the importance of raising awareness among medical professionals and the public.
The discussion also explores the challenges faced by the medical community in managing epilepsy cases and calls for a change in protocols to prioritise early diagnosis and intervention. Jane explains about the SUDEP app which can help patients and medics manage the condition better.
The podcast delves into the alarming rise in maternal deaths related to epilepsy and discusses the potential link with certain antiseizure medications. Jane highlights the importance of specialized communication and counselling for pregnant women with epilepsy,.
Join Angela Walker and Jane Hanna as they bring this critical issue to the forefront, sharing inspiring stories and insights from individuals and families impacted by epilepsy. Through awareness, understanding, and collaborative efforts, they believe that many of these heart-wrenching deaths can be prevented, paving the way for a safer future for those living with epilepsy.
