Having a care plan

You should have a care plan agreed with your healthcare professionals, which should include details of your care and support.

 

If you are diagnosed with epilepsy, your specialist will talk to you about possible treatment and care options. They should also agree an epilepsy care plan with you.

This should cover your treatment, what to do if you have a seizure, and any other choices or lifestyle issues you have discussed. A care plan is especially useful for people who have long seizures or status epilepticus.
