A CONSULTANT from Hull who has dedicated his career to supporting people with headache and migraine has been recognised at this year's Royal Garden Party.

Professor Fayyaz Ahmed, a consultant neurologist based at Hull Royal Infirmary, was invited to Buckingham Palace in recognition of his public service. Prof Ahmed, who is also an honorary adviser with the British Association for the Study of Headache, a trustee of the International Headache Society and the Migraine Trust, and a senior lecturer with Hull York Medical School, has made it his life's work to promote research, to facilitate new treatments and to improve both public and professional understanding of headache and migraine.
