Mission statement
Our vision
The BSRF’s vision is to have, within 10 years, contributed to discovering the cause of idiopathic scoliosis and to have improved the quality of life for people with all types of scoliosis.
Our mission
The organisation’s mission is to stimulate and finance high-quality research into:
- The causation of, prevention of, and potential cures for idiopathic scoliosis
- The assessment of new forms of treatment – surgical and otherwise
- The encouragement of basic scientific research that might add to knowledge of the changes, causal or otherwise, in idiopathic scoliosis
- The support of research by young surgeons to stimulate an interest in scoliosis in newly qualified doctors.
