Dr Prabhakar writes: We are celebrating 25 years of the Children's Headache Clinic on Saturday 23 November 2024, 9:15-16:30 GMT. The clinic is the first dedicated children’s headache clinic in England, opened by the late Dr Sarah Benton alongside Professor Peter Goadsby in 1999. From serving 20 children a year, the clinic now serves 200 and includes sub-specialist clinics for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, Chiari Malformation, Trigeminal Neuralgia and Facial Pain, Neuromodulation including Greater Occipital Nerve Blocks and a transition clinic with Kings-GSTT.
There is a full day of Headache Lectures and a Patient Experience Day in Parallel at Weston House. This is a hybrid event. In this meeting, GOSH colleagues past and present will explore the latest
advances in the treatment of children with headaches and migraine.
