"Very knowledgeable and show genuine empathy"

About: Community Services (Adult Physical Health) / Specialist Epilepsy Service

(as a parent/guardian),

My daughter has complex epilepsy and is an adult. I cannot put a price on having this service available to me. The epilepsy nurses are very knowledgeable and show genuine empathy and understanding. The nurses liaise with my daughter’s consultant on a regular basis which means treatment plans can be changed quickly if needed.

Without this service I would feel frightened being left to deal with my daughter’s condition alone.

Epilepsy is not an easy condition and goes through periods of stability and periods of more seizures, making this service essential to me and my family.
