It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to present at this year’s Appearance Matters Conference organised by the Centre for Appearance Research. As per my commitment to make as many of my presentations freely accessible as possible, please find the presentation below!
After an incredible 3 and a half years as the Adult Services Manager, my time at CLAPA will come to an end on Monday 28th June 2021. It has been an incredible privilege to work with and for all of you and I have done my best to do my bit to help shine the light on the importance of continued care and support for adults.
In late 2020, as part of CLAPA’s Adult Services Project, we published our paper on Treatment Experiences in the Cleft Palate Craniofacial Journal (CPCJ).
