Dr Nicholas Lawn presented at the 2021 Epilepsy WA Conference. Dr Lawn is a Consultant Neurologist and Epileptologist for the Western Australian Adult Epilepsy service.
In this talk at the Epilepsy WA 2021 Conference, you will hear Dr Lawn speak about SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death In Epilepsy) and the steps you can take to reduce your risk.
We are aware this is a sensitive and sometimes confronting topic and Epilepsy WA is available to support you on 1300 660 880 should this talk raise any questions. This talk is general in nature and should not take the place of a conversation about risk with your treating doctor.
Epilepsy WA has information about risk management plans, identifying and avoiding seizure triggers such as missed medications, lack of sleep, excess alcohol and more, and information on seizure alert devices which can be used as one part of an overall risk reduction plan.
