Specialist Epilepsy Clinic · London

We read the electrical storms
inside your brain.

Our neurologists map seizure origins using advanced EEG — routine, ambulatory, and video telemetry — building a diagnosis that is precise, personalised, and followed by a plan.

Diagnostic Pathway Comparison

What a specialist pathway
actually means for you.

The difference between a general neurology referral and a dedicated epilepsy service is not incremental — it is the difference between years of uncertainty and a diagnosis that changes everything.

"I went eleven years misdiagnosed. Eleven years of the wrong medication, the wrong label, the wrong life. One ambulatory EEG here and everything changed."

Margaret Calloway· Age 43

Temporal lobe epilepsy — previously labelled 'panic disorder'

"My son had his first seizure at school. The GP was kind but said we'd wait. Fourteen weeks felt impossible. We came here instead and had answers in ten days."

"They didn't just adjust my medication — they explained why each drug interacts the way it does. I left that appointment understanding my own brain for the first time."

Thomas Osei· Age 31

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy

"I lost my driving licence after a breakthrough seizure. The team here wrote the DVLA letter the same week. I had my licence reinstated four months later."

"Three neurologists in three years. Nobody mentioned surgery. Here they referred me to the presurgical team within one appointment. I wish I'd come sooner."

Daniel Hargreaves· Age 27

Pharmacoresistant mesial temporal sclerosis

"As a GP I've referred twelve patients here. Every time I receive a clear, structured letter within the week. My patients feel heard. That's rare."

Patient Voices

The diagnosis changes everything.
Here is what that looks like.

"She's been seizure-free for fourteen months. For a parent who watched their child turn blue on the kitchen floor, fourteen months is everything. The video telemetry found what nothing else had."

Alistair and Deirdre Fogarty· Parents, daughter age 14

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome — surgical candidate identified

"I used to cancel plans, cancel work, cancel my life. Now I plan around a condition I understand. The difference is a diagnosis that actually fits."

Amara Okonkwo· Age 29

Frontal lobe epilepsy

"The care plan they sent my GP changed the way I was managed overnight. Specific, actionable, written in language a busy practice could act on."

Rhys Llewellyn· Age 52

Late-onset focal epilepsy

"Nobody had ever done a sleep-deprived EEG. It was the first test that showed anything. I'd had six normal routine EEGs over eight years."

Caitlin Sheridan· Age 34

Nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy

"The ketogenic diet referral they arranged has reduced my seizures by seventy percent. I didn't know that was an option. My previous neurologist never mentioned it."

Niall Brennan· Age 41

Pharmacoresistant multifocal epilepsy

"I was terrified walking in. I left with a folder, a plan, and a follow-up call booked. For the first time in three years I wasn't frightened of my own brain."

Yasmin Al-Rashidi· Age 22

Newly diagnosed generalised epilepsy
