British Liver Trust

Non Richards is the new Community Champion for the British Liver Trust in Wales. The post is funded until 31st of August 2017 currently.

The Community Champion role is primarily to raise awareness about Liver Health amongst patients, carers, their friends and families, community groups and the general public throughout Wales and the post comes into force at a time when the NHS in Wales will implement the Delivery Plan for Liver Disease.

Non is hoping to map out what happens in your area as far as Liver Health promotion goes, and to find out about local health teams and voluntary groups that support people with Healthy Lifestyles, Alcohol and Drug Support and prevention; Blood Bourne Virus support groups and health professionals that you may be in contact with, such as hepatology nurses, doctors and specialist nurses, doctors and consultants in gastroenterology in your geographical areas.

Non's long term ambition is to develop Liver Health Support Groups, that will be able to sustain themselves beyond two years as well as exploring opportunities to host Love Your Liver Events in your area.
