A pilot of clinical performance indicators for suspected childhood epilepsies.

Purpose: In response to continuing concerns regarding the quality and equality of care for children and young people, the British Paediatric Neurology Association (BPNA) has supported the development of practical and meaningful audit to support quality improvement.

Method: In 2006, the Children's Epilepsy Workstream in Trent (CEWT) coordinated a retrospective multi-service audit of paediatric epilepsy care against NICE and SIGN guidelines. This aimed to both facilitate quality improvements for participating services and act as a pilot for future potential national audits.
