The NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB) has announced an intention to award a direct contract for headache treatment services, known as the Cannock Headache Service, to Cannock Headache Treatment Limited. This service focuses on patients suffering from migraine and head pain, offering diagnosis, individualized treatment plans, medication management, and counseling services.

With a total contract value of £63,233, this award is based on the existing provider's satisfactory service levels and is expected to commence on October 23, 2024, lasting until December 31, 2025.
