The Alan Rickman Professorship

Campaign launched

08 October 2024

The Alan Rickman Professorship crowd funding campaign aims to raise £5 million to fund in perpetuity an outstanding, internationally recognised, research-active Facial Surgeon who will lead the National Facial, Oral and Oculoplastic Research Centre (NFORC).

Surgical research to improve treatment of facial disorders and injuries is essential. But despite the vast number of people with facial problems research funding to improve treatment is pitiful.

Take pride in honouring the name of this great actor at the same time as helping research that will save and improve lives of patients all over the world.

Alan Rickman was a generous and supportive patron of Saving Faces because he had known actors whose careers had been blighted by facial injury or cancer. The Professor will hold free public events every year to present their research results. Alan will be showcased as the inspiration for these results and clips from Alan’s films will be shown at these annual events keeping his “voice” alive for new generations. All media associated with the research will commemorate Alan and his career.

Saving Faces has joined forces with The Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCS), The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and The British Oculoplastic Surgical Society to create NFORC which is the world’s only centre dedicated to researching better treatment for facial conditions.
