We are a very friendly group and would love to have you "On Board". We hold regular meetings (please see menu for details) If you are the sort of person that enjoys talking and meeting people, and can talk to other liver patients or even get involved with counseling sessions that we hold at the hospital, then we would dearly love to meet you. If this appeals to you then please get in touch. Helping other people to come to terms with liver disease can be a very helpful and rewarding experience.

Your liver is your life.
You only have one and though it is unique in its ability to regenerate, it can only survive limited damage - so it does need looking after.
The liver is the largest gland, and solid organ in the body, weighing some 1.8 kg in men and 1.3 kg in women. It holds approximately 13% (about one pint or 0.57 litres) of the total blood supply at any given moment, and it is estimated that it has over 500 functions.
