Epilepsy service

Our community epilepsy service offers adults advice and consultation on all aspects of epilepsy, including:

  • long-term drug treatment and careful monitoring of the individual’s epilepsy
  • changes in treatment according to changes in situation, such as pregnancy
  • living with epilepsy, for example, education, employment and driving
  • working towards the best quality of life

We also provide training and education to carers and staff caring for people with epilepsy.

We provide clinics at these sites:

  • Mayflower Community Hospital THURSDAY 8:30-12.00
  • Brentwood Community Hospital THURSDAY 8:30-12:00
  • Thurrock TBC

We also run a telephone clinic for people who are unable to attend a clinic during our opening hours. An appointment is required to access a telephone clinic.
