NEURO-ONCOLOGY • JANUARY 2018alone: 78% were contacted by telephone, 22% via email63% reported seizure activity, 37% had medication queries 29% attended A&E/admitted to hospital despite our advice71% avoided hospital/GP appointments and/or attending A&E CONCLUSION: Tumour related epilepsy data provided from a large neuro-oncology service at KCH is worthy of being shared. It can highlight the importance of an integrated neuro-oncology service which is accessible to patients through various means: email, telephone, clinics. A personalized service adjusted to the needs of patients. Moreover by utilising the expertise of the Neurologist we have shown that an integrated service may reduce the use of hard-pressed NHS resources in primary care settings and within hospitals.
