Yes. Dr Singh has specialist expertise in childhood epilepsy and is Lead for Paediatric Epilepsy at Dewsbury Hospital. He assesses and manages children with suspected seizures, epilepsy, faints, funny turns and episodes of loss of consciousness.
Yes. Dr Singh can assess children after a first seizure or seizure-like episode. A careful history, examination and appropriate investigations can help determine whether the episode was epileptic, fainting-related or due to another medical cause.
Yes. Dr Singh provides initial review of suspected seizure disorders in children. This may include assessing the nature of the episode, reviewing video recordings where available, considering possible triggers and advising on further investigation or management.
“Faints and funny turns” describe episodes where a child may become dizzy, collapse, lose awareness, stare, jerk, become floppy or appear briefly unresponsive. These episodes can have different causes, including fainting, seizures, migraine-related events, breath-holding episodes or other medical conditions. Dr Singh assesses children with these symptoms to help clarify the likely cause.
A child should be assessed if they have unexplained blackouts, recurrent faints, seizure-like episodes, loss of consciousness, unusual movements, confusion after an episode or any event that worries parents or carers. Urgent medical help is needed if an episode is prolonged, associated with breathing difficulty, injury or if the child remains very unwell.
