Guidance on supporting patients with a visible difference
People with a visible difference may experience anxiety and distress. Here are some things you can do as a healthcare professional to provide the best support.
We are the only charity that supports anyone with a visible difference or disfigurement – a scar, mark or condition on their face or body that makes them look different.
We provide free mental health, wellbeing and skin camouflage services, work to increase acceptance of those with a visible difference or disfigurement and campaign to reduce prejudice and discrimination.
Our tailored emails will help you be better informed about our services and the emotional impact of having a visible difference or disfigurement. We will provide information on:
- The latest research, case studies and guidance.
- Updates to our services.
- Guidance on who you can refer to our services.
- Training opportunities.
- Opportunities to be involved in research.
You can update your preferences to change what emails you receive at any time and we will never sell your details to third parties. Here’s our privacy policy.
