Andrew Baldwin qualified in Dentistry in Liverpool (1983) and Medicine in Manchester (1994). Following higher surgical training, I was appointed as a Consultant in 2003. My main professional interest is the management of patients with oral cancer (resection, reconstruction and rehabilitation).

Christine Piff is the founder of Let's Face It; she suffered a facial cancer in 1977 resulting in the loss of half her face, including the left eye. Christine founded the network in 1984 having experienced the loneliness and despair that living with a 'changed' face brings.
She now provides continuing education to medical, nursing, allied health professionals concerning the lifelong needs of people with facial disfigurement.
