The British Liver Trust hosted a ‘Love Your Liver’ event in Parliament on 21 January 2025, as part of their roadshow across the country raising awareness of liver disease. The roadshow includes a free liver scan, using a FibroScan which tests how stiff your liver is, as a healthy liver is soft.
Liver disease is only found when it is quite advanced. This means treatment is less likely to work, but most cases of liver disease could be prevented. The British Liver Trust have resources on alcohol guidelines, healthy eating and viral hepatitis on their website: https://britishlivertrust.org.uk/information-and-support/
