Professor Orla Hardiman:

We also have data that we have presented in part from the Sláintecare pilot implementation programme in respect of the evolving engagement with the nurses we have trained in migraine care. Those data show an increase in engagement with nurses and a reduction in engagement with physicians within the headache and migraine clinics, as well as a transformation from patients returning to the clinic to patients engaging in self-care with support from the nurses. There is a significant amount of evidence to support the fact that it is very good value for money.
