On Sunday following the final workshop session we pleased to announce that Keith Best, Chief Executive of the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture has accepted our invitation to talk about the Foundation’s current work and priorities. Keith will focus on what he perceives to be the key current issues facing refugees and asylum seekers and draw on knowledge from his sixteen years with the Immigration Advisory Service (IAS).
The Medical Foundation offers medical consultation, examination and forensic documentation of injuries, psychological treatment and support, and practical help. Central to the MF's vision are its efforts to educate the public and decision makers about torture and its consequences, while advocacy work strives to ensure that the UK honours its international obligations towards survivors of torture, asylum seekers and refugees.
