Liverpool’s Alder Hey Children’s Hospital has performed a groundbreaking treatment which could transform the lives of some people with epilepsy.
The first procedure, using the Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT), was carried out on a teenager who was able to celebrate his birthday just days later.
Nathan Wood, 16, has not had a seizure since the treatment and now hopes he will be able to enjoy an independent future.
He is one of an estimated 633,000 people living with epilepsy in the UK.
