Rating headache clinics?

I have had a referal to a headache clinic (i.e. Neurology department of a hospital) from my doctor. Apparently I have a choice of a neurology dept in one of 3 local hospitals but I haven't a clue which one to choose. I know that there are league tables for general hospital care, but it's specifically the headache/neurology depatments I'd like to find out about.

Is there a league-table or some sort of rating of quality for neurology departments, or especially for the treatment of migraines that I could consult?

    Thanks. None of the consultants listed for the 3 hospitals have headaches in their list of specialities. There is one consultant in a hosptal slightly further away which DOES have headaches listed, but I've not been given a choice of that hospital. :(

    2 of the 3 hospitals are actually the same hospital trust so it feels more like a choice of just 2 hospitals. The general ratings for both seem to be about the same.

    I think I'll just have to close my eyes and stick a pin in the list, and hope for the best.

    If you can't work out which would be best, I would start looking at convenience to get there, parking on arrival etc etc etc.

    I use this website all the time at work:

    www.specialistinfo.com/index.php

    Free to register, then outlines the special clinical interests etc of each consultant. Can also be useful when you need their secretary's direct telephone number!
