Seizures account for 3% of emergency department (ED) attendances in the UK, totaling 100,000 annually [1]. This results in 40,000 hospital admissions, which costs the NHS £88.2 million per year, and makes up almost 50% of unscheduled admissions for neurological conditions [1,2]. Reattendance rates to ED in people with seizures are high; some suggest that up to 25% of those who attend ED present more than once per year [3,4]. Repeat ED visits for seizures significantly impact an individual’s quality of life [4].
