This is a combined report of the organisational and clinical audits for Round 3 Cohort 3, published in 2022.
Epilepsy12, the UK collaborative clinical audit of health care for children and young people with suspected epileptic seizures is a national clinical audit delivered by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. It is commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) and funded by NHS England and the Welsh Government. In 2022, a further contract was awarded to RCPCH to deliver the audit up to 31 March 2025.
The results are of the organisation of paediatric epilepsy services for children and young people in England and Wales as described at November 2022, and the standard of clinical care provided by services that focuses on patients in ‘cohort 4’. This is children and young people who had a first paediatric assessment for a ‘paroxysmal episode’ (or episodes) between 1 December 2020 and 30 November 2021.
