Are you...

An adult living in the UK with Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) or Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1)? I am a PhD student, from the University of Bristol conducting research into the experience of living with an inherited condition that may affect appearance such as ED and NF1.  Little is known about what it is like living with an inherited condition that may affect appearance.  The aim of my research is to talk to people who have firsthand experience of living with an inherited condition that may affect appearance and the ways in which it has affected their life.  This is an area that has been overlooked by researchers in the past, so I will be conducting a detailed series of studies in this area.

I very much appreciate the help and support of the people who agree to take part in the research.  So, if you are over 18, live in the UK and would be interested in learning more about sharing your experiences with me and being part of this new research, then please contact me either by email: heather.brant@bristol.ac.uk or

A visible difference is the visible effect of a skin condition, scar, burn, cleft lip/palate or other disfigurement. We want to know about the experiences that young people aged 13-18 with a visible difference have of developing romantic relationships (e.g. meeting with, spending time with, seeing, dating, or going out with someone), any concerns they may have, what they think of current support and what support they think would be good in the future.

It’ll only take you 15 minutes, it’s anonymous and what you say will help develop YP Face It, an online support programme for young people with visible differences. So your opinion is really important to us. So to have your say and bag yourself a £5 Play.com voucher.
