During July, the Oglesby Cancer Research Building will host "I'm Still Me", a free exhibition featuring prints of artworks of patients who wear facial prostheses and their accompanying stories.

It provides an opportunity for staff, public and partners to engage with the portraits and narratives sharing unique stories and highlighting important messages about facial equalities. This exhibition disseminates the scientific research of Dr Rachael Jablonski. The art exhibition accompanying this research has been co-created with artists (Sarah Morley, Alison Murdoch, Brigid Brind, Jenny Mather, and Tracy Ireland), researchers (Dr Rachael Jablonski and Professor Sue Pavitt), writer (Dr Georgina Binnie-Wright), clinicians, and patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) contributors (Rebecca, Robin and Peter), who worked collaboratively as equal partners to set the project’s direction, objectives and key messages.
