This meeting is organised by the Royal Society of Medicine in association with The Migraine Trust and has Dr Nick Silver as a speaker.
Looks really interesting and I believe it’s free for patients though you need to register.
Would love to go, although it’s not particularly how I want to spend my 30th birthday!!
