The Liver Foundation has developed CPD education to support GPs in helping prevent the rising tide of liver disease.
This education includes:
Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease clinical audit
With Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) fast becoming the primary cause of liver cancer and adult liver transplant, the Liver Foundation is inviting GPs to participate in the Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease clinical audit, to discover why it is never “just a fatty liver”. This program provides practical tools to diagnose MAFLD, how to assess the risk of advanced fibrosis in patients with MAFLD, and how to manage patients with MAFLD in general practice.
The rising health threat of liver disease: What GPs can do to prevent premature mortality
Liver disease now affects up to one in three Australian adults. Primary liver cancer (HCC) is the most rapidly rising cause of cancer death. Health promotion, prevention, proactive case-finding, early identification of progressive liver fibrosis and early treatment of liver diseases are essential to prevent premature mortality. Learn how to identify, manage and support your patients with liver disease.
