Improving accessibility to outpatient clinics for adults with suspected seizures from the emergency department: A quality improvement project.

Seizure-related presentations or suspected seizures, (i.e. epileptic seizures, PNES, cardiogenic and acute symptomatic seizures) comprise 1.9% of the entire caseload for the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust,United Kingdom in 2020. Patients with suspected seizures who are diagnosed in the emergency department (ED) require appropriate immediate management and a robust follow-up pathway. National audits conducted in the United Kingdom (UK) (NASH 1, 2 and 3) have highlighted the wide intersite variability in care provided towards patients with suspected seizures and the need for better organised and accessible care.
