Petition Action

Find funding for an epilepsy nurse in Lewisham Borough

Petition Details

There isn’t one single epilepsy nurse for the Lewisham borough. An epilepsy nurse is needed in Lewisham to help individuals while in the community of Lewisham to better manage their condition.

Additional Information

Qualitative studies, mixed methods studies, and questionnaires have demonstrated the value of ESNs to patients, the range of services they provide and the perceived improvements in care. Key to their value is their specialist knowledge, their accessibility, the ability to cross boundaries, their ability to link up services and their leadership in service development and being a point of contact.
