Epilepsy care improvement initiatives in Spain

Overview

Efforts to improve epilepsy care in Spain have progressed from broad national initiatives to specific regional roadmaps. The EpiClave initiative, supported by Angelini Pharma, initially convened various Spanish epilepsy associations in Madrid to focus on integrating the lived experiences of patients and families into healthcare service design. This project emphasized the impact of the condition on education, employment, and social well-being rather than introducing new clinical protocols.

Subsequently, medical specialists and socioeconomic experts proposed a new roadmap specifically for Catalonia. This proposal, also involving Angelini Pharma, seeks to implement an integrated care route connecting primary care, neurology services, and specialized units. The roadmap aims to improve emergency response, accelerate diagnostic access, and enhance communication between healthcare, education, and social welfare sectors to support the professional and social inclusion of patients.
