The Project is being undertaken to improve diagnosis and clinical management, and therefore the outcomes and satisfaction experienced, in people suffering from a headache disorder. This will be achieved by: Optimising the patient journey from diagnosis to management; bringing care closer to home; ensuring that only appropriate referrals are made to the secondary/tertiary headache clinics. This will result in an enhancement of the level of patient care, and improved use of NHS resources.

Project Period: Both Parties have committed resources to this project that will run for a period of 12 months, which can be extended if required and if agreed by all parties.

The project is designed to:

• Improve patient satisfaction with the healthcare service and deliver better care that is closer to home, by offering appropriate and timely headache management and access to headache specialists through a community clinic
• Improve the efficiency of the King’s Health Partners (KHP) service and mitigate capacity, waiting lists, and failure to meet patient review targets
• Enable quicker access to appropriate management, treatments, and care, by stratifying patients into different models of care that better reflect individual patient needs
• Enhance the patient experience by providing a nurse-led clinic to educate patients on their disease, treatment choices, outcomes, and goals
• Reduce headache-related hospital admissions
• Implement and embed appropriate local, national, and NICE guidelines, for the treatment of headaches through the optimisation of treatment pathways
• Improve education of healthcare professionals in: The disease area; treatments; new developments. This will be done through additional training and sharing best practices with other headache clinics
• Improve the use of NHS resources
• Audit and collect data on the impact of this project to allow outcome reporting and identification of any requirements for future service enhancement

Expected patient benefits for this project include:

• More timely and appropriate diagnosis of the patient’s headache condition
• Headache patients referred from primary care can be assessed in the community rather than in hospital, preventing travel into hospitals
• Reduction in waiting time for patients with complex headache conditions
• Accelerated access to appropriate treatments and care, by stratifying patients into different models of care that better reflect individual patient needs
• Enhancing patient experience by providing a nurse-led clinic to educate patients on their: Disease, treatment choices, outcomes and goals
• Increased quality of life through improved management
• Reduced likelihood of unplanned hospital admissions

Expected NHS benefits for this project include:

• Improved education of healthcare professionals in the disease area, as well as treatments and new developments. This will be done through additional training and sharing best practices with other headache clinics
• Enhanced services that are configured around patient needs
• Improved service efficiency
• Reduction in the inappropriate use of secondary/tertiary NHS resources
• Reduction in unplanned hospital admissions
