Children’s epilepsy service

Children’s epilepsy services at ESNEFT

The children’s epilepsy teams work at Colchester and Ipswich hospitals.

We aim to support children and young people with epilepsy, and also their families.

We support:

• patients who have experienced a possible seizure and are having tests for epilepsy
• patients who have a confirmed diagnosis of epilepsy

The children’s epilepsy teams are here to support you with any questions or concerns you may have.
