The non invasive scanner checks against the three main risk factors of alcohol, obesity and viral hepatitis.

If the results show a potential risk of liver damage, participants are offered a non-invasive liver check with a FibroScan machine.

Jonathan Worsfold, Project Delivery Manager at the British Liver Trust, said:

“We hope to rearrange and visit Dover with the roadshow in the near future and we’ll be following the latest Government guidelines at all times.

“People often don’t realise they have a liver condition until it’s too late, so in the meantime I would urge everyone to visit the British Liver Trust website to find out about how to keep their liver healthy.”
