Marcia Wilkinson

Marcia Isobel Pamela Wilkinson FRCP (née Harvey; 11 September 1919 – 4 February 2013) was an English consultant neurologist, researcher and medical director of the City of London Migraine Clinic (now the National Migraine Centre).

Early in her career she made a significant contribution to the understanding and surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. In 1963 she established a rehabilitation unit for disabled young people which radically improved their chances of returning home rather than remaining in care as was norm at that time. She led research at the City of London Migraine Clinic, developing new methods for the treatment and management of migraine.

In 2000 she became the first recipient of the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Award for her extraordinary contribution to relieving the burden of those affected by headache. Provided by Wikipedia
