Summary: In the United Kingdom, two simultaneous pressures are poised to have an influential role in improving services for young people with epilepsy (a) the advent of consultant community pediatricians who have a lead role in the care of handicapped young people and (b) the creation of regional centers for specialized epilepsy. Consultant‐led community pediatric services can make major contributions as part of a move toward better services for people with epilepsy.
