Liver Health in General Practice

Webinar 24 Jun, 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM (AEST)

Chronic liver disease affects 1 in 4 adults and contributes to liver cancer risk.

This webinar aims to increase GP confidence in the management of liver disease and promotion of liver health, including supporting healthy lifestyle modifications.
