Few people have as intimate a knowledge of the delicate layers of the skin than those who try to repair it after trauma. Isabel Jones is a surgeon at the Burns Unit at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, which provides for the population of Greater London and treated the victims of the 7/7 bombings. In this special skin-themed Packed Lunch, she talks about skin grafts, skin substitutes and the Holy Grail of scarless healing.

This packed lunch event was recorded live on 10 September 2010 at Wellcome Collection.

This event accompanied our 'Skin' exhibition. Find out about future packed lunch events.
