Appearance-related concerns are prevalent among patients and are associated with a range of negative physical and psychosocial outcomes, yet many health professionals across Europe report that they are often ill-equipped to provide adequate support. Researchers from the Centre for Appearance Research examine the impact of two projects aiming to identify training needs to optimise psychosocial care for patients
