New offer of Liver Health support in the community
A new offer of Liver Health support in The Bournville is being launched, created by North Somerset Council’s Public Health team, For All Healthy Living Centre, and generously supported by Alright My Liver NHS, Nuffield Health, Pier Health Primary Care Network and other local partners.
If your recent liver scan has suggested you may be at increased risk of poor liver health, join our new peer to peer support for people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Come to the welcome event on: Monday 13 May 2024, 9.30am at The Sub Station, St Andrew Parade, Weston-super-Mare, BS23 3SS (opposite the For All Healthy Living Centre).
If you are registered at:
- Horizon Health Centre
- 168 Medical
- Graham Road
- Tudor Lodge
- and have a medical history that means you could be at increased risk of poor liver health (see the below increased risk of poor health health list)
At the event you can:
- meet others from the neighbourhood who have similar health concerns
- together plan how we can make changes to get going with healthy habits to look after our health
- enjoy ‘brunch club’ together (light brunch will be provided)
