How much do carers really contribute to epilepsy care, & why are their struggles so often invisible? 💜
Dr. Florien Boele, a researcher in psychosocial oncology & caregiving, talks about the essential but often overlooked role of unpaid carers for adults with epilepsy.
Florien talks with Torie about:

Who carers are


The staggering £184 billion value that carers add to the UK economy


The personal costs of caregiving - sleep, stress, health, finances & relationships


Why epilepsy research rarely includes carers (compared with other diseases)


The importance of measuring carer outcomes through core outcome sets


Florien’s study to define what truly matters most to carers



👉🏻 Tune in to hear how research is beginning to highlight carers’ voices & why supporting them means supporting people with epilepsy too.
