We run a very busy tertiary epilepsy surgery centre as part of a well-established Epilepsy Programme.
We are part of EpiCARE - a European Reference Network (ERN) for people with rare and complex epilepsies - and also work closely with epilepsy charities, particularly SUDEP Action, Epilepsy Society and Epilepsy Action.
Criteria for an Epilepsy Surgery referral
We accept referrals if the patient:
- has tried two or more anti-epileptic drugs (AED) that have not stopped or significantly reduced seizures
- experiences focal seizures (seizures that begin in a specific area of the brain).
Epileptic seizures explained - www.epilepsy.org.uk
We welcome referrals from Neurologists, GPs and Epilepsy Specialist Nurses.
If you are a patient with medication resistant epilepsy, please discuss a referral with the person who oversees the care of your epilepsy.
If you are a medical practitioner, and feel that a patient could be considered for surgery, please do contact us.
