Nearly 25,000 people in the UK develop epilepsy each year, making it one of the most common serious neurological conditions. The form a seizure takes depends on where it starts in the brain and how far it spreads. Nurses need to recognise the different types of epileptic seizure and the appropriate nursing management of each. National guidance on how epilepsy services can be improved will be published by the government and will include a national service framework for long-term conditions, including epilepsy.
在英国，每年有近2.5万人患上癫痫，这使其成为最常见的严重神经系统疾病之一。癫痫发作的形式取决于其在大脑中的起始位置以及扩散的范围。护士需要识别不同类型的癫痫发作以及针对每种发作的适当护理措施。政府将发布关于如何改善癫痫服务的国家指南，其中将包括针对包括癫痫在内的长期病症的国家服务框架。
