On Friday 18 September 2015 I hosted the launch of the Epilepsy Passport at the House of Commons as Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Epilepsy on behalf of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH). It is an important development in the treatment of Epilepsy for children. The passport is an easy-to-carry paper record of relevant and up-to-date clinical information about a child or young person’s epilepsy. It includes an emergency care plan, medication history and key professional contacts which can be used by medical staff when families access emergency healthcare and to provide information to schools, residential or respite care services.  It was developed by the RCPCH under the leadership of Dr Richard Appleton and Dr Amit Bali, following the recommendations of the Child Health Review into Epilepsy.
