SOLIHULL Hospital is hosting a health talk about liver function and disease.
The causes, signs and symptoms of liver disease will be discussed to help raise awareness about the illness.
The talk will be led by Dr Theodore Ngatchu, a consultant gastroenterologist at the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, and is open to anyone.
Dr Ngatchu said: “I will be speaking about the causes, signs and symptoms of liver disease and about when you should be looking to see a specialist.
“Liver disease is a growing issue and people rarely know they have it until a long way down the line, so increasing awareness by getting the information out there is vital. It will be great to see as many people as possible at the talk.”
The talk will take place in the Education Centre at Solihull Hospital on Wednesday September 13 between 5pm and 7pm.
The Trust runs 10 health talks a year to help raise awareness of a range of conditions, as well as providing information about treatment and support available.
To book a place at the talk, contact Sandra White, membership and engagement manager on 0121 424 1218 or email [email protected].
