My current role
In my current role at Addenbrooke's hospital I look after patients with refractory primary headache and facial pain disorders, including migraine, cluster headache, SUNCT/SUNA, and hemicrania continua. As the Clinical Lead for the Refractory Headache Service at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, I work within a dedicated multidisciplinary team to improve the quality of life of people living with these often disabling conditions. In addition, I provide botulinum toxin treatment for a range of cranio-cervical movement disorders, including cervical dystonia, hemifacial spasm, and blepharospasm.
Alongside my clinical practice, I am passionate about education and improving access to specialist headache care. I actively contribute to regional and national initiatives aimed at advancing headache services and improving outcomes for people affected by headache disorders.
