Children's Epilepsy Team

The Children's Epilepsy team provides care and support to Children and Young People who have a diagnosis of epilepsy, and their families, living mainly but not exclusively within Calderdale and Greater Huddersfield. 

The Epilepsy team is currently staffed by three part-time Consultant Paediatricians who all have expertise in childhood epilepsy. The team includes one full time Paediatric Specialist Nurse for Epilepsy and one part-time Paediatric Nurse for Epilepsy. They provide advisory, educational and outreach support in the community setting. The Epilepsy Nursing Team also provide a telephone advice service, Monday - Friday, 8am - 4pm and an answer machine facility is available where messages can be left for the Nursing Team out of hours. 

Specialist Epilepsy clinics involved all the team are held at the Rainbow Community Hub in Elland.
