The Healing Foundation Patient Information Project
Studying the information needs of people with disfigurements
| Lead Institution : Picker Institute Europe, Oxford |
| Researchers : Ms H Magee, Ms J Cartwright |
| Start date : September 2003 |
| Duration : 36 months |
| Award : £160,700 |
This three-year patient-focused research project, commissioned by the Healing Foundation, conducted by the Picker Institute, and funded by the GUS Charitable Trust studied the information needs of people with disfiguring conditions. The impact of a disfigurement can be enormous and life-changing, and alongside any accompanying physical obstacles, adapting psychologically and socially to a change in appearance is often one of the most difficult aspects of rehabilitation and recovery. The detailed findings of the study can be accessed below.
