First-seizure referrals should be sent directly to the trust's first-seizure clinics (as NICE guidelines suggest rapid review and assessment).

The consultants would be happy to discuss any referrals and usually state the eligibility criteria below.

Eligibility Criteria

• First seizure within three months
• Not currently on treatment for epilepsy
• No previous neurology out-patient review of first seizure
• Possibility of cardiogenic syncope has been reasonably excluded
• Local resident (or non-local resident who might reasonably have ongoing care at the referral destination)
