Who we are
We are a group of GPs who have a special interest in managing migraine and other headache disorders. Members range from those who work in General Practice solely and who want to increase their understanding and skills in managing headache disorders, to those in Community based headache services, and also those working within Secondary care neurology or Tertiary headache clinics.
What we do
As a 新澳彩开奖结果 member, you are welcome to join our GPwSI email support group. We discuss clinical, prescribing, service development or protocol issues by email. Members can make use of the 鈥榟ive mind鈥� and peer support in a friendly and supportive environment. We may share journal articles or clinical challenges for information and discussion.
At the start of the pandemic, we organised regular on-line webinars with expert speakers as part of our ongoing professional development programme. These are recorded usually and shared later with members who can鈥檛 attend at the time. We also run face to face study days for GPs.
Networking face to face at 新澳彩开奖结果 UK and other international conferences is encouraged and stimulating.
There are also opportunities to get more involved with 新澳彩开奖结果 by becoming an Honorary advisor on 新澳彩开奖结果 Council. These voluntary posts are opened on an annual basis.
Training
Individual GP members will often receive training from their linked organisation e.g. NHS clinics , National Migraine Centre. 新澳彩开奖结果 and the IHS run regular training webinars as do some pharma companies. Access to is available.
There is no currently standardised GPwSI training programme qualification but this is something 新澳彩开奖结果 hopes to develop.
