Progress with the Muir Maxwell Epilepsy Centre (MMEC)

Two first class PhD students will take up posts with the Muir Maxwell Epilepsy Centre (MMEC) in September working under the guidance of Richard Chin.

Their work will focus initially on two studies; the first looking at the cognitive and behavioural impairments in preschool children trying to identify the frequency, spectrum and risk factors and the other looking at the effect of epilepsy on families which will include a look at their experience in Section 23 & Section 24 of the Children's Act Scotland 1995.

We are extremely excited about the expansion of the MMEC team and our plan to address quality of life issues for children struggling with epilepsy and their families.
