Within the epilepsy service we provide first seizure, epilepsy surgery, adolescent transition, neuro-obstetrics and learning disability/epilepsy clinics in addition to the general/complex epilepsy clinics.  Weekly MDTs are held with the neurophysiology department to review EEGs, and there is a twice monthly epilepsy surgery meeting.
