Medical Justice sends independent volunteer clinicians to visit people held in Immigration Removal Centres (IRCs) across the UK, to document their scars of torture and other serious medical conditions including mental health.

Evidence from this casework is fed into their research into systemic failures in healthcare provision in IRCs and the harm caused by these shortcomings, and the toxic effect of detention itself on the health of such vulnerable people. Medical Justice uses its research, policy work, strategic litigation and parliamentary work to campaign for lasting change, including making significant contributions of evidence to the recent Brook House Public Enquiry.

Treebeard is providing unrestricted, multi-year funding to Medical Justice.
