Who is the British Liver Trust?


The British Liver Trust is the leading UK liver health charity, working towards real change for everyone at risk of, or affected by, any liver condition, including liver cancer. They are the only charity with a liver nurse-led helpline for patients and families, they have a huge range of patient information on their website, and an online community where those in need can find support 24/7.

Did you know that 90% of liver disease is preventable? The British Liver Trust raises awareness of all the risk factors of liver disease through campaigns such as Love Your Liver, and by sharing messages in the media and online. They also campaign for early detection of liver damage, better treatment and better care for all liver conditions including liver cancer.

 

What is the Love Your Liver campaign?


Love Your Liver is a national campaign run every January, encouraging people to learn about their possible risk factors for liver damage, take the charity’s free online liver health screener, and take action if they are at risk. The British Liver Trust also runs ‘high street health checks’ with a mobile unit offering free liver screening and scanning for the general public. Do check the website to find the nearest location to you – and find out how to Love Your Liver.

 

What kind of information & support is available?


As well as the helpline, the British Liver Trust provides high quality online information about many different kinds of liver disease to support patients and families. If you are affected by a liver condition, please look at the website, contact the helpline, join one of their online support groups or the online forum – there is lots of help, however you would like to get in touch with the charity.

The charity works on behalf of patients to ensure their voices are heard; working with the NHS and lobbying the government, to seek change where it is needed. The British Liver Trust also supports research projects when funding allows; including research into improving methods of prevention, early detection and screening. The charity is currently seeking to improve early detection and liver treatment pathways across the country through their Sound the Alarm campaign; with a petition to the government calling for ten key recommendations to improve services for patients.

Ultimately, the goal is to ensure liver disease prevention, detection and treatment becomes a key part of routine healthcare in the UK.
