- Classify headache based on this information alone (reducing reliance on investigation)
- Learn about pathophysiology of headache
- Know which elements of the history / examination mandate brain imaging or other tests
- Diagnose and manage migraine, migraine variants and other primary headache types
- Diagnose secondary headaches and take initial steps in their management
