MariaPCC 26 August 2025

More people are being referred for potentially life-saving liver cancer checks following the expansion of the NHS’s community liver health check programme. The number of mobile liver scanning teams has almost doubled in the last two years, with 20 roaming teams now offering scans to communities in every region of England – up from 11 when the pilot started. Almost 113,000 people (112,831) have had a fibroscan of their liver, and almost 8,500 (8,470) have been referred on for vital liver cancer checks since the programme began.
