The Epilepsy Passport is a paper record containing relevant and up-to-date clinical information about a child or young person’s epilepsy. It has been developed by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) following one of the key recommendations of the RCPCH Child Health Review into Epilepsy (RCPCH, 2013).

If you have a child with epilepsy you might like to consider completing the attached passport with your epilepsy nurse or Paediatrician and using it in the school and community.
