About Dr Modar khalil
Personal Profile
Dr Khalil is a Consultant Neurologist with a specialist interest in headache disorders, migraine, and complex chronic headache management. Alongside his specialist headache work, he also manages a broad range of general neurological conditions.
After completing his medical training in Syria, Dr Khalil undertook postgraduate medical and neurology training in the United Kingdom. He has worked across several neuroscience centres and was appointed as an NHS Consultant Neurologist in 2016. He previously worked as a Consultant Neurologist at Hull Royal Infirmary. He currently works within the NHS in Greater Manchester alongside his private practice.
Dr Khalil has extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of patients with migraine, chronic migraine, medication overuse headache, cluster headache, facial pain syndromes, and other complex headache disorders. He has played a major role in the development and delivery of specialist headache services, including large outpatient pathways providing NHS patients with access to advanced migraine therapies.
His clinical practice includes experience with modern headache treatments such as botulinum toxin (Botox) therapy for chronic migraine and CGRP-targeted therapies. He adopts a holistic and individualised approach to patient care, recognising the importance of sleep quality, lifestyle factors, stress, blood pressure, and medication optimisation in the management of neurological symptoms and headache disorders.
Alongside clinical practice, Dr Khalil has been involved in teaching, multidisciplinary working, clinical governance, and service development. He has also participated in real-world clinical outcome projects evaluating newer migraine therapies in routine practice.
Dr Khalil aims to provide clear, evidence-based assessments and practical management plans tailored to each patient’s individual needs, with a strong emphasis on patient understanding and shared decision-making.
