Over

Dr Jitka Vanderpol is a highly respected Consultant Neurologist in Cumbria, where she has been practising since 2012. She is the Founder and Lead of the Cumbria Headache Service, established in 2012, and has served as Clinical Director for Neuroscience Development at the North Cumbria NHS, playing a key role in creating a new “Close to Home” neurology service, designed to make specialist care more accessible to patients across the region. She is the Founder and Medical Director of the Lake District Neurology Clinic, overseeing all clinical operations since establishing the clinic in December 2022.

Dr Vanderpol graduated from the First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague, in 1998. She became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (FRCP) in 2012 and earned her Executive MBA with Merit from Durham University Business School in 2014.

She founded the Cumbria Headache Forum in 2014—an educational platform recognised nationaly, dedicated to empowering patients through knowledge and self-management.

Dr Vanderpol demonstrates a strong interest in assisting patients with complex, undiagnosed neurological conditions to achieve accurate diagnoses and comprehensive care.  She firmly believes that patients benefit most from a holistic approach that integrates medical management with lifestyle and dietary interventions, supported by interdisciplinary collaboration.

In addition to her clinical work, Dr Vanderpol is deeply involved in education and research.

Her first book, Helping You Successfully Manage Your Headache and Migraine: A Patient’s Guide (Cambridge Scholars Publishing), reflects her commitment to improving patient understanding and quality of life through evidence-based, patient-centred care enabling self-management.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
