Awareness session on headaches

The neurology department at Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust is holding the event at the East Riding Medical Education Centre at Hull Royal Infirmary on September 23. Consultant neurologist Dr

Fayyaz Ahmed and headache nurse specialist Victoria Quarshie will be answering questions about all aspects of headaches.

The World Health Organisation lists migraine as one of its top 20 most debilitating conditions, because of the impact it can have on quality of life.

More than nine million people in Britain are thought to suffer from the condition, making it more common than diabetes, epilepsy and asthma combined.

The event runs from 9am to midday.
