The CHESS Study 2014
This study arose from a senior politician saying to us “I know that people with epilepsy are not counted in schools and I know that they have a wide range of cognitive and behavioural problems but you have to do something that brings this to everyone’s attention”. Our response was to have four international annual meetings that highlight these problems, a new course for professionals and this; The CHESS Study.

Improving Care in Epilepsy 2013
The report provides key findings which look beyond the often-quoted statistics, to identify the real barriers and enablers to providing better care. In its key recommendations, it provides a proposed set of shared goals towards the aim of improving epilepsy services for children and young people. Policy-makers and commissioners must take these recommendations and work together - in collaboration with professionals and with children, young people and their parents - in order to achieve lasting and transformational change. It is only through this process that the type of service that children and young people with epilepsy deserve can be delivered.
