Supporting patients in the everyday management of their condition, providing a personalised care plan and advice for staying well with liver disease
The Liver Toolkit identifies some of the most impactful changes to Liver disease management, and then delivers them using consistent, clear messaging…
Promoting best practice
It is well recognised that advanced liver disease is usually recognised very late and deaths from liver disease continue to rise. This is further highlighted by patient advocate groups such as The British Liver Trust – the Liver Toolkit simply promotes best practice, and communicates it in a way that is easy and applicable to practice.
The Liver Toolkit is co-produced with policy makers and clinical experts from within stakeholder groups, including RCGPs, BLT and LDIG, to ensure that the toolkit is fully aligned with the system.
The functionality and content of this toolkit have been designed to deliver to a lot of the major outcomes required by Hepatology services (including NICE Quality Indictors), and these benefits have been outlined below:
