SUDEP Action Day

SUDEP Action Day is dedicated to raising awareness of epilepsy deaths worldwide.

This year, SUDEP Action Day will take place on Wednesday 21st October and the theme is #StopSUDEP

Launched by us in October 2014, SUDEP Action Day shines a light on the largest cause of death in people with epilepsy. It’s a day for global epilepsy communities to come together as one, to educate people about Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), promote life-saving prevention strategies and honour the memories of those who have died because of epilepsy.

By sparking open conversations around seizure safety and risk management, lives can be saved. Every shared story or expert insight helps build a stronger, better-informed community dedicated to preventing future tragedies.

Together, we can turn awareness into meaningful impact and ensure that everyone affected by epilepsy gets the guidance and resources they deserve. Your team can play a crucial role in creating lasting change.

Let’s #StopSUDEP
