Patients' Experiences of and Satisfaction with Care for Their Epilepsy

Abstract

Patients with epilepsy place great importance on having a doctor who is approachable, communicative, and knowledgeable and on receiving adequate information about their condition. Clinicians may need to be made more aware of the importance of accessibility and sensitivity to the nonclinical needs of their patients. Such easily implemented changes in the delivery of care would improve services in the United Kingdom for people with epilepsy.
