Epilepsy is a condition where bursts of abnormal electrical activity in the brain cause recurrent seizures. Seizures vary widely — from brief lapses of awareness to convulsions — and an accurate diagnosis is essential to the right treatment.

A private consultant neurology assessment offers a prompt, thorough work-up after a first seizure or for seizures that aren't well controlled.

How Epilepsy Is Assessed

A neurologist takes a careful account of the events (a witness description is very helpful), examines you, and usually arranges an EEG and an MRI of the brain, plus blood tests. These help confirm epilepsy, identify the type, and look for an underlying cause.

Pinning down the seizure type matters because it guides which medication is most likely to work.

When to See a Neurologist

See someone urgently after a first seizure, and arrange review if known seizures change, become more frequent, or aren't controlled on current treatment. Driving rules apply after a seizure — your clinician will advise.

At The Vesey, consultant neurology appointments are often available the same week.
