InterplastUKWe are glad to say that our team are now home safely from Pakistan. Around 140 patients were operated on – that is 140 lives changed for the better! Interplast UK would like to express our grateful thanks to the team for their hard work and dedication; the family, friends and colleagues of team members for sparing them for two weeks and to all of our supporters whose generous giving enables enable us to do this work.
Apologies to all those who were looking forward to this event – it is not now going ahead.
An Interplast UK team leaves for Islamabad and Jhelum, Pakistan, on 9th September, returning on 25th September. Many thanks to our generous supporters and to our volunteers for enabling this work to go on. Here’s wishing you safe journeys and a successful mission!
Our life-changing work is in demand around the world! We are currently negotiating visits to Nepal, India and Kashmir and also possible visits to Libya and Palestine. Our secretary will soon be emailing our list of medical volunteers so that we can begin to build our teams. If you are not on our list and would like to be, visit our GET INVOLVED page!
Congratulations to Paul McCrone who successfully ran this year’s London Marathon on 24th April to raise funds for Interplast UK. Including Gift Aid on donations, Paul raised a grand total of £856.09! What a fabulous effort – we are so grateful to you Paul.

Interplast UK are pleased to announce that we have finalised our teams to Islamabad and Jhelum in Pakistan from 9th – 25th September and to Kumi Hospital in Uganda from 29th October to 13th November.
We are so grateful to the many skilled medical personnel who have volunteered and only sorry that we have not been able to accept all the offers of support – if you were disappointed this year, please do try again next year!
As you can imagine, costs for flights, accommodation and medical supplies for our missions are considerable. Lynn would love to hear from you if you would like to help raise funds for our missions. She can supply literature, PowerPoint presentations and/or a speaker for an event …………… just get in touch and we’ll see what we can do together!
