Our mission: minimising the impact of migraine
Migraine controls a huge number of lives. The UK has 10 million people with migraine, which makes it the most common brain disease in the country. Our mission is to reduce the impact of migraine in the UK. At The Migraine Clinic we believe in a tailored approach. With us you are more than a patient: you are a partner in your own care.
Our view on migraine care
At The Migraine Clinic we believe a personal approach is the key to effective migraine treatment, because everyone is unique. That is why we create tailored treatment plans that fit your specific needs and lifestyle.
We deliver specialist medical care based on science. Our starting point is that migraine is a brain disease. It is not your fault. Our commitment to specialised care means we apply the latest insights and best practice in migraine treatment.
We also make sure our care is accessible to everyone. We use the power of digital tools to give our patients the care they need, where and when they need it.
To the hospital or The Migraine Clinic?
Hospitals
- General: you can go there for a wide range of (neurological) conditions
- Covered, but only after trying several treatments that were not developed to prevent migraine, often taking up to 2 years of trial and error
- Focus on emergency care: urgent patients take priority over migraine patients
- Less personal approach: patients do not always have a regular clinician and there is less time to tell your story
- Longer waiting times: it can take months before you get an appointment
- More complex setting: less accessible and higher costs for society
The Migraine Clinic
- Specialised: we focus entirely on migraine
- Personal approach: every patient has a regular migraine specialist
- No waiting times: get started today
- Accessible: questions are answered within 1 to 2 working days
- Fully online: consultations by video call, medication delivered to your door
- Not affected by complex reimbursement requirements
- In most cases not covered by insurance
The family business
The Migraine Clinic was founded by Dr Hans Carpay and his son, Matthijs Carpay. The fact that some 10 million people in the UK suffer from migraine and that 500 million days are lost every year was a wake-up call for Hans and Matthijs. It is time to act.
The Migraine Clinic is a specialised clinic where expertise and efficiency come together. A place where the patient, rightly, comes first.
Within the organisation, Hans focuses on all medical aspects. Matthijs runs the business. Their shared goal: to reduce the impact of migraine in the UK.
