Free NHS Liver Checks will be taking place at Age UK Plymouth on Wednesday 17th June from 9:00-15:00 🩺

We want to help raise awareness and prevent liver disease as early as possible to
give the best chance of recovery, treatment & intervention.

How does it work?
Within a clinic room setting or an NHS community van, a qualified nurse will perform a Fibroscan, which takes 10-20 minutes to perform depending on the individual.
The free, simple, painless & non-invasive procedure uses high-frequency sound waves to assess liver stiffness, which reflects the degree of scarring in your liver

Who is eligible?
Anyone 18+ with the following risk factors is encouraged to have a free fibroscan:
• Type 2 Diabetic or pre-diabetic
• Overweight (BMI 30 or above).
• High Alcohol Consumption for 10+ years (i.e. 6 pints of beer or 1.5 bottles of wine per week).
• Current/past history of blood borne virus (Hepatitis B or C)

If you meet the above criteria & want to book, please email [email protected]

Please note appointments are on a first come, first served basis 💙
