Abstract

Services for epilepsy in the UK are poor in quality, fragmentary and poorly organized. We attempt to define and quantify the scope, content and standards of medical, paramedical and nursing services required, from primary health care to specialist centres. This document has been approved by the Joint Epilepsy Council of Great Britain and Ireland, representing all major patient organizations and care providers.
