The Plastic Surgery and Burns Research Unit at the University of Bradford was set up in the wake of the 1985 Bradford FC fire disaster in which 56 people died and over 200 were injured.

The Unit was established with money from public donations and the tremendous efforts of many local groups. Since 1985 the Unit has remained partly funded by voluntary donations.

Plastic Surgery

Plastic Surgery is concerned with the repair and reconstruction of lost, injured and deformed body parts as a result of burns, cancer, trauma and birth defects.

Burns

Burns injuries form a substantial part of the workload of the Plastic Surgeon. In England and Wales burns are responsible for the hospitalisation if over 10,000 people each year. Many of these are children and many are preventable, 30 years ago deaths from burns numbered 2,000 annually. Today this number has fallen to 600 largely due to better understanding and treatment in the post-burn period. Without research this would not have been possible.

However, there is still much room for improvement, particularly in the prevention and treatment of some of the later problems of burns such as adverse scar formation, a source of great physical and psychological disability.

Current research in this Unit is focusing on the problem of wound healing and scarring. We currently investigate the pathophysiology behind scar formation and contracture, along with mechanisms of modifying this phenomenon.
