The Epilepsy Deaths Register for Ireland works with international partners to tackle Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) and other epilepsy-related deaths, although registries outside Ireland and the UK are limited. 

The Epilepsy Deaths Register for Ireland partners with the UK Epilepsy Deaths Register to provide vital information for research.  If you live outside Ireland you may still provide information about a death via  https://epilepsydeathsregister.org. However, you may also wish to contact the UK team direct to find out if there is a registry, or any research projects that you could provide information to within your Country.
