To ask the Scottish Government whether it will review and update current SIGN guidelines to make discussions regarding Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) a mandatory part of epilepsy care.
The decision to create, update and/or replace any SIGN guideline is made independently by the Evidence Directorate Work Programme Committee in Healthcare Improvement Scotland. Proposed guidelines under consideration can be found on the SIGN website: Our guidelines (sign.ac.uk).
