They are expanding their activities to offer specialist headache services to the NHS working with PCTs and PBC clusters. Successful partnership will increase choice for people with this condition and reduce pressure on NHS services. They can offer longer consultations at lower cost than competitors (NHS and private sector) and with short waiting times (average 6 weeks). They re-invest income and donations in services.Paul Jansen, Interim CEO, the City of London Migraine Clinic said:"The City of London Migraine Clinic aims to provide access to its unique treatment service to as many people with migraine and other primary headaches as possible. Migraine affects over 6 million people in the UK but it is still widely under-diagnosed and under-treated, in children and adults. Thanks to the Department of Health's Social Enterprise Investment Fund, the Clinic will be in a much better position to offer its services to NHS trusts, thereby shortening waiting times and improving choice for NHS patients and service users. This will help to improve the quality of life for many thousands of people with these conditions."CEO Heather Sim Tel. 020 7251 3322
