New Childrens Seizure Diary Available for Free

Children take control with new seizure diary
Children with epilepsy have a fantastic new seizure diary filled with fun activities. A parent who attended one of the NCYPE's Childhood Epilepsy Information Service Conferences in 2008 spotted a gap in the market and helped the NCYPE team create this diary especially for youngsters aged 5-10. This is believed to be the first one of its kind in the UK.

The diary has space for recording seizures in a fun way - a vital help to doctors in diagnosing and managing epilepsy. It is full of pictures and cartoons donated by over 50 famous children’s illustrators including Lauren Child, Axel Scheffler and Aardman Animations. Nick Sharratt designed the lively front cover.

Thanks to the support of sanofi aventis, it is available free of charge by calling 01342 832243 ext. 296 or by emailing This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

“We wanted something a child could take to school and which would look and feel like an ordinary diary – we’re delighted with the amazing support we’ve had from children’s authors and illustrators,” says NCYPE Childhood Epilepsy Information Service Manager, Gill Gallagher.
