Abstract

The BEACH program, a continuous national study of general practice activity in Australia, gives us an overview of consultations in general practice involving the management of epilepsy. Participating general practitioners recorded the problem as 'epilepsy' in 90% of cases, while 'grand mal' was specified at about 4% of encounters and 'temporal lobe' and 'petit mal' were each specified at about 1% of encounters.
