Centre for Appearance Research – Take Part!

Maia Thornton is looking for parents or carers of children or young people with an appearance altering condition or injury to take part in an interview study.

We encourage you to take part as the research helps us to ensure that parents/carers are receiving the right support, and if people are not getting the right support, then we can try and make a change.
