The Peter Doody Foundation works to raise awareness of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) and end the silence that surrounds it.
How
We are committed to education and awareness disseminating comprehensive information about SUDEP to people living with epilepsy, their families, friends and carers and also healthcare professionals.
We advocate and support to empower people to instigate open and honest discussions about SUDEP with their clinicians.
Why
We believe that every person with epilepsy, along with their caregivers, deserves to be fully informed about the risks and preventive measures associated with SUDEP. That by fostering a culture of openness and transparency, we can prevent potentially avoidable deaths and improve the quality of life for those living with epilepsy.
