It is our role to support you and your family with your diagnosis of Epilepsy. If you come to clinic for an appointment you will be seen by our colleagues in the Children's Outpatient Department first. They will measure your height and weigh you prior to being seen by ourselves.

We ask lots of questions which help to build a picture about your Epilepsy. It would be helpful if you or your parent/carer could bring along any videos of your seizures and a seizure diary.
