We will be hosting liver screening clinics in the Practice over the next few months.
Liver disease can be present without any symptoms for many years. We want to diagnose liver disease as early as possible to give people with liver disease the best chance of recovery.
Liver disease can be caused by lots of different things, such as:
- Viral hepatitis
- High levels of alcohol consumption
- High Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Type 2 diabetes
We have been working with the Alright My Liver team to identify patients who who may benefit from a liver health check. These patients will be contacted directly and invited to book in for a 20 minute appointment with the screening team. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to support your wellbeing.
Early detection of liver problems can help you take steps to protect your health. The screening is quick and non-invasive, and our friendly team will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Please DO NOT book an appointment for this service if you have already been referred to or seen by another service/ department for your liver health.
