Management of headache in primary care is best organised as a team together with other healthcare providers (Figure 11). The physician, practice nurse and ancillary workers provide the core team, sometimes in association with a pharmacist, who can explain the use of medications and provide general advice. The practice nurse can optimise the physician's resources by conducting the initial history assessment, providing advice and information and reviewing patients' diaries and impact assessments during follow-up. Pharmacists, community nurses, opticians, dentists and alternative practitioners can all feed patients into the core team, while the physician can refer the patient to a specialist physician if necessary.
