The Epilim/Sodium Valproate Scandal - with Dr. Jim Morrow

Meet Dr. Jim Morrow, a former Neurologist from Northern Ireland, with whom we are talking about Sodium Valproate, aka Epilim, its feature in the UK Government's "Cumberlege Review", and why it has been called a "public health scandal" by some. Sodium Valproate is a medicine commonly used to treat epilepsy (and bipolar actually) and has been around since the 1960s. You'll find it referred to mainly as Valproate in this podcast. **CHECK OUT JIM** • BMJ: https://pn.bmj.com/content/16/2/162 • Belfast Telegraph: https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/health/belfast-doctor-who-earned-global-reputation-for-treating-epilepsy-found-he-had-condition-himself-36706294.html • Epilepsy Action: https://www.epilepsy.org.uk/news/news/dr-jim-morrow-receives-special-recognition-award-outstanding-contribution-treatment **CHECK OUT THE YOUTUBE VIDEO WITH JIM** • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd1Jt12x27g&t=586s **CONNECT WITH TORIE** • Website:https://www.torierobinson.com • Twitter:https://twitter.com/torierobinson10 • LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/torierobinson • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TorieRobinsonSpeaker  **CHECK OUT TORIE’S YOUTUBE & BLOG** • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TorieRobinson • Blog: https://www.torierobinson.com/blog **HIRE TORIE AS A SPEAKER ON EPILEPSY, MENTAL HEALTH, DISABILITY, & DIVERSITY & INCLUSION** https://www.torierobinson.com/contact
