For health professionals

Welcome to Young Epilepsy Health Services

Childhood epilepsies can be complex, and often misunderstood. We deliver the highest quality health services and coordinate vital research to ensure early and accurate diagnosis, better treatments and better support for children and young people living with epilepsy

Our health suite in Surrey offers diagnostic and behavioural assessment services for children with epilepsy and other neurological conditions. With modern, comfortable and accessible facilities, we support children, young people and their families in a ‘home from home’ environment.

Young Epilepsy has also developed the first clinical OPM-MEG suite for children. OPM-MEG will transform epilepsy diagnosis into a more comfortable less intrusive experience, allowing for more accurate data collection, earlier diagnosis and interventions, and better management, treatment and health outcomes.

We put children and young people at the centre of the work we do. You’ll find details of all our epilepsy diagnosis and other services on the pages below.
