Primary Care Guidelines for the Management of Females with EpilepsyThese guidelines, based on a round table discussion held in London in December 2003 and sponsored by Sanofi-Synthelabo, have been written to help the non-specialist address the specific needs of women with epilepsy presenting in the course of their normal work, and are intended to help in determining those who need referral to an appropriate specialist – they are not meant as a definitive guide for the treatment of women with epilepsy.
Sally's role was that of the Patient Representative, Board of Governors, National Society for Epilepsy.

What our clients say...
"I have received very positive feedback from the staff who attended. It has certainly changed attitudes especially towards students who have epilepsy but do not have seizures at college. It has raised awareness about the different types of seizures and how it may impact on the students and their lives. The delivery and pace were just right."
