About

Migrainenews.co.uk is run by me, Dr Raeburn Forbes, a practising consultant neurologist from Northern Ireland. I aim to provide information for anybody interested in learning more about this common headache complaint - 6% men and 16% women suffer from migraine. I qualified in medicine from the University of Dundee in 1992, and became Member of the Royal College of Physicians in 1995, and have recently become FRCP. I graduated MD(Hons) in July 2000. My main interest, within the world of neurology, are headache disorders. I also spend a lot of time trying to educate non-neurologists on care of common neurological disorders, such as migraine!
