A Collegiate Atmosphere is Encouraged:

The first requirement is to complete a ‘Headache Journal’, which is record of your assessment and treatment of 5 headache patients. This is mandatory part of the examination process.

During the course you will be required to assess a patient in 60’.

Fifteen minutes prior to the subsequent examination of your patient (40’ duration) to present your interpretation of the initial consult and treatment to the group. Your presentation needs to be clear and effective summary - the pertinent points only. Note that assessment of this component is about your content and not mode of presentation.

Other elements of the examination process comprise:

A theory paper (part multiple choice) and examination of techniques, which will also include a viva.

Upon completion of the Level 3 Certification Course, a practitioner should be able to care for routine and complex headache patients of all types and should be competent in the physical techniques, clinical reasoning and patient communication (education and coaching).

Course Participant Feedback:

I Was Sold on the Watson Headache^® Approach after treating my first patient following the completion of the Level 1 Foundation Course. When a lady, with a 20 year history of weekly migraine, living on strong medication, with 10 days of her month ruined by intense headache, said that she has been headache free for 6 months, I sat up and took notice. I have since successfully treated many more headache sufferers. I have been surprised by just how many headache symptoms have a cervicogenic component.

I have recently completed the Level 2 Consolidation Course. This brought more clarity to my clinical reasoning. I feel I will now be more efficient when treating future headache patients. The division of Dean’s approach into staged “Battles” also really helped organise my assessment strategy.

The Level 1 when combined with the Level 2 gives the practitioner a powerful and clear strategy for headache management. There are very few courses I have completed that have changed my practice to the extent that I can make such a remarkable difference to the lives of patients.
