Epilepsy Research UK, formed by the merger of Epilepsy Research Foundation and the
Fund for Epilepsy, has been launched at a star-spangled event.
Guests included Tory
leader David Cameron whose son has epilepsy and who is a trustee of the charity.

A new £200,000 fellowship award has also been created to bring new researchers into
the field of epilepsy research.

Epilepsy Research UK’s aim is to substantially increase the funding available for
research into the treatment and prevention of the condition.
