Help our campaign to make early diagnosis of liver disease routine

Enter your postcode below to see the state of pathways in your area, and email your MP to ask them to write to their ICS/Health Board to ensure full primary care pathways for the early detection of liver disease are put in place so we can turn the tide on the liver disease crisis.

90% of liver disease is reversible if its detected early. Sadly three quarters of people with cirrhosis are currently diagnosed too late, when there are very few options for treatment.

This has to stop. Help our campaign by emailing your MP.

This map shows the state of liver disease primary care pathways across the UK. The results come from our research and subsequent dealings with the bodies responsible for the detection of liver disease locally.

We want to turn this map green – and with your help we can. Please support this campaign by emailing your MP. Enter your postcode below to get started.

In England, the bodies responsible have changed from Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) to Integrated Care Systems (ICSs). Each ICS can be made of a combination of a number former CCGs. The map shows the former CCG boundaries (dark lines) in addition to the new ICS boundaries.

Since we launched this campaign, improvements have been made in some areas of the country. We are pleased to report on the following pathway advancements since our survey in August 2021:

  • NHS Lothian – confirmed pathway
  • Cardiff and Vale University Health Board – confirmed pathway
  • Hywel Dda University Health Board – confirmed pathway
  • Cheshire and Merseyside ICS – pathway now in development
  • Cambridgeshire and Peterborough ICS – partial pathway
  • NHS Dumfries and Galloway – pathway now in development
