📖 Great to be involved in this systematic review and meta-analysis - 1 in 5 burns survivors experience PTSD. Psychological care in burns services is essential. Thank you National Institute for Health and Care Research for funding my #CDRF study visit which enabled this collaboration! 🙏🏻🤩

If you’ve ever felt outside, you’ll know what I mean. Your self worth is not based on how others view you, it’s your responsibility to learn your worth. You are beautiful, you were beautiful and you are ‘Still Beautiful’ shorturl.at/0C4sh

What is a cleft? 💙 In early pregnancy, different parts of the face form and then join together in the middle. Most people have a little dip above their top lip where this happens. For one in every 700 babies, the different parts don’t join together all the way. [1/4]
