We’ve campaigned for free flu jabs for people with epilepsy. While we await a policy change, you may be eligible for a discretionary jab from your GP. Asda is also offering 60p flu jabs to the first 6,000 who book between 22–28 Sept. #FluProtection #EpilepsySupport

GO TEAM PURPLE! 🏃‍♂️💜 You smashed the London Marathon, raising over £200,000! Through heat, pain & exhaustion, you pushed through. Huge love to Gabby — finished with a medal despite a fractured hip. True hero! 💪 #TeamPurple #LondonMarathon25

A huge step forward in saving lives! Great to meet the medical crew, pilots and engineers at RAF Northolt and hear first-hand from former patients about how important the new @LDNairamb helicopters are 🚁

As @NuffieldTrust report shows "shock rise" in shortages of epilepsy drugs, we tell @Telegraph @liasw “Our helpline has been inundated with calls from desperate people who are travelling miles, often visiting multiple pharmacies to access medication.” bit.ly/3JqKLfK

This #PurpleDay we want to share Maria's story. After almost 30 years of living with epilepsy she thought she had experienced it all, but a seizure led to a terrifying mountain fall, which drastically changed her life. 💜 bit.ly/4auiFeS @lauracooke21 @Daily_Express

What a way to start the New Year. Our young hero, Zach Eagling has been named as the PM’s first Point of Light for 2024 for stopping the trolls. What an honour and so well deserved. #ZachsLaw @RishiSunak @pointsoflight @dcms bit.ly/41Dn2RC
