Specialist epilepsy service input following an epilepsy related unscheduled care episode

Emergency and unplanned epilepsy-related attendances are associated with an increased risk of subsequent death within 6 months. Although further work is required to provide a definitive explanation to account for these findings, in the interim it would seem reasonable that services are designed to ensure timely access and provide support at a time of greatest risk.We aim to determine the frequency of patients with epilepsy (PWE) accessing specialist neurology services following an epilepsy-related admission/unscheduled care episode.
