Existing and emerging SUDEP guidelines: How can we bridge the gap between recommendation and practice?

06/04/2026 | 11:00 am EST - 12:00 pm EST

International and national guidelines for SUDEP counseling and seizure detection are increasingly available. However, their uptake and implementation in routine clinical care remain variable across regions and health systems. This webinar will address these central questions: what SUDEP-related guidelines currently exist and are on the horizon, what evidence tells us about how they are being used in practice, and how we can better translate these recommendations into meaningful clinical action.
Webinar in collaboration with ILAE YES.
Speakers:
Rohit Shankar, MD - Professor in Neuropsychiatry with the University of Plymouth Medical School and Director of Cornwall Intellectual Disability Equitable Research
Johan Zelano, MD - Professor of Neurology and Senior Consultant at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden
Eugenia Roza, MD - Pediatric Neurologist in Bucharest, Romania and Chair of ILAE's Young Epilepsy Section
