title: Implementing new guidelines on epilepsy management.
abstract: New guidance has been released by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence on the diagnosis and management of epilepsies in adults, children and young people. Appropriate treatment and management can result in up to 70 per cent of people with epilepsy living seizure free. However, there are concerns regarding the shortage of specialists to implement the new guidance.
