These guidelines, based on a round table discussion held in London in December 2003 and sponsored by Sanofi-Synthelabo, have been written to help the non-specialist address the specific needs of women with epilepsy presenting in the course of their normal work, and are intended to help in determining those who need referral to an appropriate specialist – they are not meant as a definitive guide for the treatment of women with epilepsy. Their publication is timely in view of the guidance from NICE on antiepileptic medication in children and adults and the impending NICE guidelines on epilepsy. For GPs signed up to the new GMS contract, these guidelines may help them address the needs of women with epilepsy, which annual audit of their patients will identify.
