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.

What makes me eligible for a referral?

If your epilepsy is difficult to treat or it is not entirely clear how the seizures originate, the doctor may refer you to SEIN. Our staff know a great deal about epilepsy and can provide further help in the form of the correct diagnosis, treatment, support and guidance.
