Notes

2012 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the withdrawal of the drug thalidomide from the market in the UK. To acknowledge this, Swansea University, in collaboration with the Thalidomide Trust, funded by Wellcome Trust, embarked on an oral history project to collect together a selection of oral testimonies from a cross-section of the thalidomide population. The project was headed by Professor Anne Borsay of Swansea University; the project assistant and interviewer was Dr Ruth Blue. Ethical approval for the project was obtained from the Research Ethics Committee of the College of Human and Health Sciences at Swansea University who also reviewed the questions and the formal consent procedure. Involvement from the Thalidomide Trust and Thalidomide Society was also ensured to safeguard the interests of any vulnerable adults.
