Bromley CCG is seeking expressions of interest from organisations for the provision of a direct access, community-based, headaches service. Since headache is the most prevalent neuro condition, Bromley CCG chose this as a useful starting point to improve management of common neurological conditions.

A pilot community headache service was launched in February 2018 and will run to the middle of February 2020. The pilot has successfully reduced demand on secondary care and improved the management of headaches in primary care through advice and guidance.
