Research is the core business of the Healing Foundation.

Through research, we aim to contribute significantly to improving the lives of the many hundreds of thousands of people in the UK and globally, who live with disfigurement and visible loss of function. This will be represented not only in better clinical and surgical techniques but also in an improved understanding of the psychological aspects of disfigurement and a contribution to the development of patient support services.

Our current priorities include:

The Healing Foundation Centre at the University of Manchester

The Healing Foundation UK Cleft Collaboration supported by VTCT

The Healing Foundation UK Centre for Cleft Research at the University of Manchester   The Healing Foundation UK Cleft Gene Bank and Birth Cohort Study at the University of Bristol

The Healing Foundation UK Centres for Burns Research supported by VTCT

At the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust   At the University of Bristol for paediatric burns research
