Enter Cohort 6 data
The Cohort 5 and 2023 organisational audit deadlines have passed. Health Boards and Trusts should now submit data to the Cohort 6 clinical audit on our new data entry platform.
Published in July 2024, the most recent results from Epilepsy12 provide insight into epilepsy care for children and young people.
This report presents key findings, national recommendations, and quality improvement. You can also find regional or local results in the extended analyses and detailed data tables.
Frequent reporting dashboard
This interactive tool shares Epilepsy12 performance indicator data in the public domain at frequent intervals.
Our current round has two main data processing and reporting components: the organisational audit and the clinical audit. We provide full detail, and the link to submit data.
