Liver Disease Profiles

"The liver disease profiles provide an invaluable resource relating to one of the main causes of premature mortality nationally; a disease whose mortality rates are increasing in England, while decreasing in most EU countries. The local authority profiles will support the development of Joint Strategic Needs Assessments and work of Health and Wellbeing Boards presenting local key statistics and highlighting questions to ask locally about current action to prevent liver disease."

This report contributes to that endeavour and sheds some light on the extent to which an integrated science hub and network of facilities could serve PHE in the future."
