Our team have been very busy with the Love Your Liver roadshow this year. We’ve fitted in lots of extra days because we’ve been catching up on the events we had to postpone during the pandemic – as well as running our usual programme of visits too!
Since the start of 2022 we have been to 45 different locations and scanned nearly 3,133 people.

All the attendees whose scans indicated potential liver damage were provided with a letter to take to their GP providing detail regarding the context of the roadshow and a request for follow-up tests and referral to secondary care in line with best practice pathways.
The volume of high readings serves as a reminder of the number of undiagnosed cases of liver disease that are likely to exist in the general population. Our ‘Make early diagnosis of liver disease routine’ campaign continues to push the case for finding liver disease earlier and enabling GPs and primary care nurses to proactively look for it in their patients.
Our roadshow will be back in 2023. Keep an eye on a confirmation of locations and dates in our newsletter and on our map of upcoming events.
