I have (or want) an appointment

Your first port of call with epilepsy-related problems is your GP or neurologist. Then if the epilepsy is difficult to treat, or if you’re not yet sure how the seizures originate, the neurologist, paediatrician or GP may refer you to SEIN.

An appointment at the outpatient clinic

If your doctor has referred you for specialist epilepsy care, we will contact you to arrange an appointment. You will also receive an invitation with a comprehensive questionnaire. This contains questions about your seizures, medication and side effects.
