Recent advances in the treatment of liver disease have seen previously incurable conditions effectively treated. However, the number of cases of fatty liver disease, hepatitis and liver cancer are increasing and predicted to do so for decades.

Professor Nick Shackel is a specialized hepatologist managing all aspects of adult liver disease.
