OVERVIEW:

This Special Interest Group addresses the multi-faceted challenges presented in a pandemic for the treatment and care of epilepsy.  

The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated specific challenges in the care of patients with epilepsy, namely the increased use of virtual platforms, limitations to collaborations, and challenges to collaborative training in low- and middle-income countries.  

In this SIG, presenters push the challenges back and showcase opportunities to forge ahead, including:  

  1. The use of virtual platforms in the creation of long-term, sustainable projects 
  2. Potential solutions for collaborative training in low- and middle-income countries 
  3. Successfully building infrastructure using online resources.  

The session concludes with an interactive Q&A session, including opportunities to network and collaborate.
