Welcome... to BDF Newlife's free condition information service dedicated to inborn conditions (birth defects). The service has been created by UK professionals to give families, patients and other professionals understandable, regularly updated key information. The service holds information or references to over 3,000 conditions, thousands of condition relevant support organisations and hundreds of other bodies who offer related help or services. The service is also uniquely backed-up by qualified Nurses who are contacted through a direct and confidential telephone helpline and email service. The 'update me' service allows users to receive a free email update when/if we make changes to the information we hold on a particular condition. Every condition has a message board attached to it to aid contact with others who are interested or concerned with the condition. Additional printed information and the other BDF Newlife services are also available from this website service and our home page.
