My son has epilepsy...sometimes my son slumps or has brief staring spells...my ex partner is very dismissive that he has epilepsy because he doesn't have the full grand mal with the jerking etc...during investigations mri they discovered my son has fcd other term focal cortical dysplasia which is a congenital condition...my ex never attended all the meetings with the consultant....can I request the hospital notes so I can pass on a copy to my ex...Tia x

if you contact PALS at your hospital they'll be able to point you in the right direction to get a copy of his notes. There will be forms to fill in and a fee to pay do to this though. Do you get copies of clinic letters after your appointments at the hospital, these usually have the diagnosis on them? If you don't you can request you get a copy sent to you the next time you see the consultant or you could try ringing the consultants secretary and ask him/her to send a copy of the last letter to you.

Your GP may agree to print off the last letters from your consultant for you?

its really easy just phone your local hospital and you fill out a form and they photocopy them.
