Saving Faces are sad to hear of the passing of Professor Bob Woodwards, Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon.
Professor Woodwards was a friend of Saving Faces Chief Executive, Professor Iain Hutchison, and was President of British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) in 2011.
Our thoughts are with his wife Claire during this challenging time. May he rest in peace.

Facial surgery research is severely underfunded despite the vast number of people with facial problems but with support, we can continue to provide our services, maintain our pioneering research and ensure more patients survive.
