Anne MacGregor is a New Zealand-born British medical researcher and clinician based in London. She is a leading researcher in the field of hormonal effects on migraine.




Education



MacGregor received her MB BS from St Bartholomew's Hospital in London in 1986. She began training in headache medicine, noticing an important link between the menstrual cycle and migraine. To further this interest, MacGregor attained additional training and earned membership into the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare. She also earned a Doctorate in Medicine (MD) from the University of London and a Masters in Medical Education (MSc MedED) from the Royal College of Physicians and University College London. MacGregor's MD thesis discussed the role of estrogen in menstrual migraine.




Career



She is currently Honorary Professor at the Centre for Neuroscience, Surgery and Trauma within the Blizard Institute of Cell and Molecular Science Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry and Associate Specialist in Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare at Barts Health NHS Trust, London. She also has a busy private practice.
Between January 1988 and July 2011 MacGregor worked at the City of London Migraine Clinic (now the National Migraine Centre), initially training under the neurologists Dr Marcia Wilkinson and Dr Nat Blau. In 1999, she became Director of Clinical Research and joined the Board of Directors as Vice Chairman. She was actively involved with the other headache charities, serving as a trustee of the Migraine Trust and member of the Medical Advisory Board of Migraine Action Association. She has served on the Executive Boards of the British Association for the Study of Headache and the Anglo-Dutch Migraine Association. For almost a decade she was on the Board of Directors of the International Headache Society, serving first as Honorary General Secretary and later as Honorary Treasurer. She was an assistant editor of Cephalagia between 1989 and 1992. In 2002 she received the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Award, which was awarded by the World Headache Alliance to a woman who has "made an extraordinary contribution toward relieving the burden of headaches on those affected".
In addition to her work in headache, MacGregor is active in the field of education and also sexual and reproductive healthcare. She was joint Vice Chair of the Examination Committee and Convener of the critical reading question group for the MFSRH, General Training Programme Director for Barts Health NHS Trust and member of the FSRH eKA review group. She is a certified trainer in SRH and Menopause Care has been a member of the Medical Advisory Committee of the British Menopause Society since 2017.
She writes for and lectures to healthcare professionals and lay groups both nationally and internationally and appears on radio and television. She has published over 200 research papers and book chapters, five single author books, co-authored seven books and co-edited three books. She was an expert advisor for the NICE headache guidelines and was a co-author of first to third editions of the British Association for the Study of Headache (BASH) Headache Management Guidelines.




Research and publications


MacGregor has published over 200 research papers and book chapters, five single author books, five co-authored books, and has co-edited four books. She has experience of trials in drug treatments for migraine and cluster headache as well as her specified interest in menstrual migraine. The results of her research led to the development of research criteria for menstrual migraine, adopted by the International Headache Society in 2004.
