Abstract
Deficiencies in existing primary care for people with epilepsy are well-recognized in the United Kingdom and include a lack of structure and an inability to meet the patients' needs for information and support to cope with their epilepsy. The introduction of clinics set up by nurse specialists within family practice in a few United Kingdom cities has met with a high degree of acceptability and satisfaction from patients. A package of care was developed to support epilepsy management in the community in the United Kingdom. It includes provision of advice and information, counseling, and interdisciplinary liaison. Nurse specialists with a sound training in epilepsy can adopt a proactive role and effectively deliver this package.
