Unprecedented study to support Veterans with genital injuries - The Scar Free Foundation
Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust grant will enable first large-scale research on psychosocial impact and support needs.

Conflict genital injuries from military service have been overlooked, consequently support has been limited. Building on our previous research & working with the Scar Free Foundation, our new research project will change this. Links to 2 research posts in comments scarfree.org.uk/blog/unprece...

This is poor editorial leadership as well. We had a paper go out to a new reviewer after revisions. They asked for all sorts of nonsense which had nothing to do with the original reviews. I pushed back and the editor accepted it was ridiculous, but why not explain to reviewers the situation first?

In the UK you get a message telling you your blood donation has been used and where it was used, mine went from Sheffield to Manchester to Southport where it helped help to save someone’s life. Here’s a reminder to book to donate if you’ve been thinking about it but forgotten.
I’ve been to give blood today.It’s easy, you get free snacks & you can help save someone’s life. Blood stocks are low,so every donation counts.I only remembered to book as I saw someone else had been,so here’s a reminder for anyone else thinking of going but not got round to it yet. www.blood.co.uk
