Books

Journals

Epilepsy Currents is the journal of the AES. Freely available online to all readers.

Web sites

Probably the most useful resource for international facts and figures. The campaign website also contains reports from around the world, though it doesn't seem to have moved on since 2005.
Has a few interesting resources. The History and the Social Consequences factsheets look promising but basic.
Has a large number of articles, literature reviews and other information pages for the professional. Some are reprints of work published in journals; others seem to be written for NSE.
The authority on classification and terminology. Useful glossary and extensive information on seizure types and syndromes.
Loads of clinical overviews of various topics. Not as highly regarded as established peer-reviewed print journals.

Clinical guildelines

Comprises a number of PDF documents that contain a wealth of UK-focused data and guidelines built on evidence-based-medicine.
These Scottish guidelines, like the NICE equivalent for England & Wales, are thoroughly reviewed and evidence-based.
A substantial number of guidelines with an American flavour. Often jointly supported by the American Epilepsy Society.
