I was awarded the degree of Doctorate in Medicine after conducting research on pain and nerve regeneration at University College London.   I am now Consultant Neurologist in the Pain Management Unit at The National Hospitals for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square. While at Kings College Hospital, I was Consultant Neurologist to the Headache clinic as well as The Pain Relief Unit.
