What we can help with

  • Migraine attacks

    Treatment options for attacks, and how to take them so they work best.

  • Prevention

    If migraines are frequent, regular prevention can reduce how often they happen.

  • Finding triggers

    Sleep, stress, food, hormones and screens. A headache diary helps.

  • Menstrual migraine

    Migraines around your period may need a different plan.

  • Neurologist referral

    For migraines that aren't responding to treatment.

  • Time off work

    A medical certificate if a migraine stops you working.

Can a GP treat migraines by phone?

Yes, for people with a known pattern of migraines. Your GP can review your treatment, discuss prevention and send an eScript where appropriate.

When is a headache an emergency?

Call 000 for a sudden, severe headache, or one with weakness, numbness, confusion, trouble speaking or a stiff neck with fever.

Can taking pain relief too often make headaches worse?

Yes. Using some headache medicines on many days a month can cause 'medication overuse' headaches. Your GP can help you plan.

What's a headache diary?

A simple record of when headaches happen, what you were doing and what helped. It makes it easier to spot triggers and choose treatment.

Can I get a certificate for a migraine?

Yes, if the GP finds it appropriate. It's emailed after the consult.
