This is not the most recent version

Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:

(1) To compare the effectiveness of any specialised or dedicated team or individual for the care of epilepsy patients whether based:
(a) in hospital e.g. a specialist epilepsy clinic;
(b) in the community e.g. a specialist pharmacist;
(c) in general practice e.g. a specialist epilepsy nurse;
(d) elsewhere e.g. social worker, the voluntary sector;
(e) as a care network combining any of these elements.

(2) To compare the effectiveness of standard care e.g. in a general neurology outpatient clinic, usual in‐patient, out‐patient or General Practitioner (GP) care without specialised or dedicated input.
