Headaches commonly come up in discussion in optometric practice, but how do you know when to reassure and when to refer? In this CPD video, Lorcan Butler explains the difference between primary and secondary headaches, with detail about handling the patient with migraine. He highlights those red flag symptoms that could indicate a sinister cause and warrant an urgent referral. After the video, you will be directed to a closed discussion group on LinkedIn to interact with your peers.
