🔍 Up to 50,000 people with epilepsy become pregnant across Europe each year.
Yet for many anti-seizure medications, we still don't have enough evidence about their long-term effects on children's health and development. That's why we're launching the LIFETIME project: a new international network bringing together leading centres across the UK and and Europe to collect long-term data, improve understanding of medication safety and help families make informed treatment decisions.

Initially involving up to 350 mothers and children, with ambitions to grow to around 2,000 families, LIFETIME represents a major step towards answering some of the most important unanswered questions in epilepsy care.

There's still time to get your tickets for our inaugural Research Summit on 16 July 2026 at the Royal College of Physicians, London.

This year’s theme asks a vital question: “So what?” – shifting the focus from discovery to real-world impact. Across the day, we will showcase research shaping practice and policy, and bring the epilepsy research community together to explore how we can better design, deliver and translate research to improve lives.
