How to manage headaches in general
practice
Presented by Dr David Kernick
FRCGP
RCGP Clinical Champion for Headache
Despite a high impact on the lives
of sufferrers, the needs of headache patients go largely unmet. The
majority do not receive a diagnosis and when they do tretment is
less than ideal. This update by Dr Kernick will focus on ways to
manage headaches in general practice.
Educational objectives:
* Headache is not easy to manage
within the constraints of a ten minute consultation. What is it,
how can I treat it, does it represent an underlying pathology? The
objective of the evening is to clarify this area and enable GPs to
be more confident in the management of this common problem.
Dr Kernick is a GPwSI in
headache. He started life as a chemical engineer and worked in
Canada with the Proctor & Gamble Company before returning to
the Welsh National School of Medicine. He has been a full-time
General Practitioner for the past 25 years in a large medical group
in Exeter which is an NHS R&D practice where he is the lead
research GP. He runs an Intermediate Care Headache Clinic
in Exeter and was formerly Chairman of the British Association for
the Study of Headache.
