A survey was carried out on whether district health authorities have adopted clear policies with regard to the pre-employment screening of people with epilepsy. The survey revealed that only a small number have done so and that a few others claimed to be following recommended guidelines. It is evident that there is a need for an organization, such as the Association of National Health Service Occupational Physicians, to develop a more authoritative and comprehensive set of guidelines in this area. The paper concludes by suggesting some of the key elements to be included in such a set of guidelines.
