Editorial Board Spotlight
Prof. Tissa Wijeratne's extraordinary contributions to global neurological education and his exemplary leadership within the realm of young neurologists were acknowledged when he received the inaugural Ted Munsat Award from the World Federation of Neurology in 2017. Furthermore, in 2019, he achieved finalist status for the Stroke Champion Award bestowed by the National Stroke Foundation. He also received the inaugural Priscilla Kincaid-Smith Award from the Australian Medical Association (AMA) for his outstanding work as an academic neurologist, mentor, and advocate.
His remarkable expertise extends to international publication and public speaking, as evidenced by his extensive translational research in clinical neurology, which has yielded more than 300 publications and over 200 invitations to present at various forums. With an impressive count of over 100,000 citations, his work underscores his profound impact on the field (h-index = 76). Notably, he played a pivotal role in the founding of the Australian and New Zealand Headache Society, collaborating closely with four colleagues. He spearheaded the initiation of the James Lance-Peter Goadsby Annual Migraine Oration and Symposium in 2018, and the Australian Institute of Migraine in 2022 (the first national headache center in Australia), as well as launching the Steps4migraine campaign in 2023, further advancing the landscape of headache care and research. As of 2023, he holds the distinction of being the most highly cited practicing Headache Neurologist in Australia according to Scopus. He is the current President of the Asian Regional Consortium for Headaches. He was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) on Australia Day, 2023, for his enormous services to medicine as a neurologist.
