Modern management of epilepsy.

The expected quality of care for epilepsy has increased sharply in the last two decades, informed and directed by published guidance. Meeting these demands has become possible only by providing adequate numbers of consultants and nurses with the relevant expertise, alongside improvements in investigative facilities. The increasing choice of AEDs has been helpful in improving treatment options. Both primary and secondary care have an important role to play in easing diagnosis of new cases and highlighting cases where improvement in control are needed.
