Purpose: To obtain in-depth perspectives from carers concerning their relationships with paediatric epilepsy services with and without an Epilepsy Specialist Nurse (ESN).
Methods: Semi-structured interviews with 58 carers, 37 from service areas with an ESN, and 21 from areas without an ESN in the North-West of England, were conducted and analysed using Thematic Analysis adopting a realist epistemological position.
Results: Four themes relating to different aspects of carers' needs were identified.
Purpose: To compare paediatric epilepsy services with and without Epilepsy Specialist Nurse (ESN) provision on measures of carer satisfaction and accessibility of service.
Methods: In Study 1, carers in Northern England (n = 69 with an ESN, n = 27 without an ESN), completed the Parent Report of Psychosocial Care Scale to measure satisfaction with service provision. A measure of accessibility of service was also included.
