The following studies are being carried out at Somerset Foundation Trust;
The Cleft Collective Cohort Study
Musgrove Park Hospital is a Continuing Care Site – working with the University of Bristol to support this study.
The Cleft Collective Cohort Studies investigates the biological and environmental causes of cleft, the best treatments for cleft and the impact of cleft on those affected and their families.
In the future our research will help answer the three key questions that families ask:
What has caused my child’s cleft?
What are the best treatments for my child?
Will my child be OK (both now and in the longer term)?
Recruitment to the study takes place through the Bristol Cleft Team.
