We have transferred all information and educational material to the web site of our new clinic, Exeter Headache Care. www.exeterheadachecare.co.uk
Due to financial pressures, the NHS was unable to renew the contract of the Exeter Headache Clinic after 25 years of proving support to people with headache and our GP colleagues. Unfortunately we are unable to accept NHS referrals at this time although we hope to bid for an NHS contract in the future. We continue to offer educational support to people with headache and our GP colleagues, details of which can be found on our new web site.
We have recently published an extensive programme to help people to understand and manage their migraine all of which can be freely downloaded on www.holisticmigraine.org.uk.
We also have publishes extensive information to support young people and headache in schools. www.tedwraggtrust.co.uk
