Epilepsy12 audit

We work to improve the quality of care for children and young people with seizures and epilepsies.

National organisational audit

Our report describes the organisation of paediatric epilepsy services in England and Wales as of April 2018. It shows incremental improvements in some areas, but a need for change in others.

We worked with Epilepsy12 Youth Advocates, as part of our RCPCH &Us programme, to capture children and young people's experiences of epilepsy care - from the support they want to their ideas for the future.
