Structure

The main headquarters of the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture (MF) are based at the purpose-built London centre in Finsbury Park. The services offered by the national centres - based in Manchester, Glasgow and Newcastle - are constantly evolving to meet the needs of a growing population of torture surviving asylum seekers dispersed outside of the capital.

There are some 140 paid staff employed across all four MF centres comprising full and part time members, with an additional 80 interpreters. Staff include doctors, caseworkers, counsellors, legal advisors, physiotherapists, psychotherapists, psychologists, interpreters, child and family therapists and group workers covering art and music therapy.

Volunteers continue to make a significant contribution across all departments, with more than 200 working across all four centres. The majority are based in London, with a large number of voluntary doctors working directly with clients providing assessments.
