Treatment thanks to dad's job at Smith & Nephew

RACHEL Adshead, who was left scarred for life after she was glassed in a bar, has been using the latest technology to treat her injuries.

Miss Adshead, 23, needed 14 stitches after she was glassed in bar Fusion by Michael Bettney during a Christmas nightout.

Her father works for Smith & Nephew and was able to access the latest anti-scarring medicines to help treat her.

She has been using specialist creams and dressings to treat her injuries and in ten months since the incident the scarring has reduced.
