Ewan S. Nurse is a Pediatric Neurologist based in Fitzroy, VIC, working from 29 Regent Street. He looks after kids and teenagers, especially when there are questions about brain and nerve activity that show up as seizures.
In many cases, families first notice something like a blank stare, sudden jerking, or episodes that seem out of character. At times, seizures can be hard to sort out, mainly because they can look different from child to child. Ewan focuses on helping families understand what might be going on, what to watch for, and what steps can help keep a child safe.
His practice includes care for seizures and epilepsy in children. This can involve things like absence seizures, where a child may seem “stuck” for a short time, or generalized tonic-clonic seizures, which can look more dramatic and often need clear treatment planning. He also works with forms of epilepsy that can be more complex, including Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) and juvenile absence epilepsy.
Because the causes and patterns vary, the goal is not just to label the problem. It’s about making sense of the episodes and building a practical plan for day-to-day life. That usually means thinking about triggers, sleep, school routines, and how to respond if a seizure happens again. Families often want clear guidance they can actually use, not just information on paper.
When children are dealing with epilepsy, it can affect more than just the seizure itself. Concentration, learning, mood, and confidence may take a hit too. Ewan’s role is to support the child’s health while also keeping the family in the loop, so everyone knows what matters most and what changes to track over time.
If a child has been diagnosed, the work can still be ongoing. Seizure types can shift as kids grow, and treatment sometimes needs review as the situation changes. Ewan helps families navigate those moments with calm, steady care, focusing on the details that make a difference.
Appointments for seizures and epilepsy in children can feel stressful. Still, Ewan’s clinic is set up for this kind of problem—helping children with epilepsy and related seizure conditions, including absence seizures and generalized seizure types, and supporting families through the ups and downs that can come with diagnosis and management.
