Living with Autoimmune Encephalitis

We are delighted to invite people with lived experience of autoimmune encephalitis (including caregivers, family and friends), health professionals, researchers and anyone with an interest in wanting to learn more about autoimmune encephalitis to a free online panel event. Community advisory members with lived experiences will share their individual personal stories to enable better understanding of autoimmune encephalitis, what it is and what it looks like.

This panel event is being held as part of Autoimmune Encephalitis Awareness Month. 

Join us as we explore the intricacies and diversity of this condition.
