Your Trust Charity Christmas Cheer – Gastroenterology & Hepatology

December 22, 2017

Each day in the lead up to Christmas, we will be taking a look back at some of the Your Trust Charity highlights from this year.

“Thanks to the Fibroscan service, I was immediately reassured that I only had mild liver damage. That was a moment I will never forget and I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude.”

We know that patients like Damian who encounter liver problems become understandably concerned about their long-term health. In many cases, a liver biopsy is required. Thanks to a £40,000 charitable grant, the SWBH Gastroenterology & Liver team purchased a Fibroscan machine, which assesses liver damage without any needles, pain, or risk. This helps Damian, and many others, to effectively manage their condition.
