British Liver Trust

6 November 2024

It was a pleasure to welcome Louise Parker and Peter Nyland from The British Liver Trust who shared with us their mission of transforming liver health through increased awareness, prevention, improved care and support.

Alcohol is the biggest cause of liver disease in the UK. Many people think that you have to be an alcoholic to develop liver disease, but this is a myth. Regularly drinking over the recommended limit increases the risk of developing liver disease and liver cancer. Although most people who drink stick within the limits, around 1 in 4 people drink alcohol in a way that could harm their health.

Our colleagues were able to obtain information and receive advice on this so that we can all work towards a world without liver disease.

Health and wellbeing is an important part of our employee value proposition and these types of monthly events are very well received by colleagues and fully supported by our Chairman, Mr Tanaka (pictured), Director, Alice Ambrose-Thurman FCA FCIS FRSA and Plant Manager, Christopher Fitzpatrick CMgr MCMI.
