Defining 'Congenital and Acquired' Conditions

Welcome to our December Dictionary Series! We recognise that we reference a whole bunch of terms and theories on this podcast and felt it was time to have a handy series of definitions that you can keep coming back to. This is a series of 24 x 5 minute episodes covering some key terms that we use a lot in our work at the centre. Episodes will be released daily and definitions have been co-created with or provided by various members of the Centre for Appearance Research team. In this episode of the series, Bruna shares definitions for the terms CONGENITAL AND ACQUIRED. To read a paper that Bruna cited in the episode, titled 'First look: A mixed-methods study exploring women's initial experiences of their appearance after mastectomy and/or breast reconstruction', please visit: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bjps.2019.01.012 To find out more about the Centre for Appearance Research, follow us: On Twitter:  twitter.com/CAR_UWE On Instagram:  www.instagram.com/car_uwe/ On Facebook:  www.facebook.com/AppearanceResearch Please remember to rate, review, share and subscribe and happy listening!
