Epilepsy – State of the Nation report

The National Clinical Audit of Seizures and Epilepsies for Children and Young People (Epilepsy 12) has published a new report based on the first year of care for children and young people (CYP) after a first paediatric assessment between 1 December 2021 and 30 November 2022 in England and Wales.

This report contains a number of key findings relating to the involvement of appropriate professionals, mental health, appropriate assessment and care planning. It also includes five recommendations, namely calls to:

  • Improve participation in Epilepsy12
  • Increase the scope and breadth of epilepsy teams
  • Establish or improve processes and pathways, to ensure timely access to care
  • Develop models of engagement that enable groups where there may be inequalities to contribute to service improvement
  • Support participation and benchmarking against relevant ongoing quality improvement projects.
