Now that I’m back in the UK, it feels great to reconnect with some of the people shaping the clinical care for and research on paediatric epilepsy here. I’ve recently joined the Research Committee of the British Paedaitric Neurology Association (BPNA), and am looking forward to playing a small role in shaping their future conferences and academic strategy. This was also a great opportunity to reconnect with old paediatric neurology friends at the Annual Conference in Oxford this year
