Abstract
A district-wide epilepsy audit in general practice showed that levels of seizure frequency recording were too low to evaluate the quality of control of epilepsy. A repeat audit after multi-faceted interventions showed an improvement in seizure frequency recording of 13.2% (CI = 8.9 to 17.6) from 54.7% to 68%. This illustrates the difficulties of evaluating quality of care using routine records and the problems of implementing changes in general practice.
