Event Details
- Date: Monday, 15th September 2025
- Time: 10:00 – 16:00

Why Look After Your Liver?
Your liver quietly performs hundreds of essential functions—including filtering toxins, aiding digestion, and storing energy. It’s also remarkably regenerative, but ongoing stress—like poor diet, excessive alcohol, or obesity—can cause irreversible damage.
In fact, around 1 in 10 roadshow attendees show signs of possible liver damage, while 1 in 40 may already have advanced scarring.
What Happens at the Roadshow?
A key highlight of the event is a free, non-invasive liver scan using FibroScan. The scan helps detect signs of liver stiffness or early damage. Scan results are shared on the spot, and if needed, a follow-up letter is provided for your GP to arrange further tests.
Symptoms of Liver Damage to Watch For
Liver disease is notoriously silent in early stages, but you should remain alert to symptoms like:
- Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes)
- Persistent fatigue or general feeling unwell
- Upper right abdominal pain or swelling
- Itchy, blotchy skin or small spider-like veins on the skin
- Pale stool or dark urine
- Easy bruising or bleeding
Early detection is key. The Love Your Liver roadshow makes checking your liver health simple and accessible—no doctor’s appointment needed.
A Chance to Love Your Liver
This roadshow is a free, local health resource you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re curious about your liver or need peace of mind, drop by on 15th September and take a proactive step toward your wellbeing.
