Children & Young People's Epilepsy Service - Poole Hospital N.H.S.

Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological condition and can happen at any age. In the UK there are an estimated 60,000 children and young people under the age of 18 years that have epilepsy. Many children and young people will grow out of their epilepsy. We are a hospital based service with community support delivered by the epilepsy specialist nurse. We hold a wide range of children and young people's epilepsy clinics. We work with children up to the age of 16 if they attend main stream schools and young people with special needs up to the age of 19.
