Epilepsy: Children and Young People
(asked on 15th January 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to encourage use of the Epilepsy Passport.
NHS England commissioned the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) to develop the passport in partnership with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) with input from key epilepsy professionals, parents, children and young people.
The aim of the passport is to help children and young people with epilepsy and their families communicate with healthcare and other professionals and to help healthcare professionals communicate with each other. On behalf of NHS England, HQIP has also commissioned the Epilepsy Audit, undertaken by the RCPCH, which will assess use of the passport as a quality measure.
