Great discussion and took lots away from an excellent day #NHSCancerInnovation. Great to represent @MFT_Research and @FBMH_UoM and @REVISE_HCC . Also enjoyed being called an innovator!

[REVISE HCC @REVISE_HCC]

It was fantastic to attend @NHSEngland 'Innovation in the Early Diagnosis of Cancer' event and learn about the important innovations happening across the country. Project lead @VSAthwal joined an expert panel to discuss how to improve pathways

Time for round 3 of #FGCup! Two great papers going head to head in the world of IBD! "Investigation of abnormal LFTs in patients with IBD" vs "management of chronic pain in IBD: a practical guide"

Amazing to be shortlisted, especially for this technology that has huge potential for our patients.

[MFT Research and Innovation @MFT_Research]

🏆 Congratulations to researchers at @MFTnhs, @OfficialUoM, working in collaboration with @RocheDiaUK, who have been shortlisted for a HSJ Partnership Award 2025.

The team have implemented new technology across MFT which is improving the early detection of a common liver cancer.

We have a fully funded PhD opportunity investigating how biological clocks regulate cardiac surgical outcomes for #biology, #Maths, #Chemistry. Following our recent publications in JCI and Lancet Resp Medicine. Full details: https://t.co/R6vHlnrFUZ @h_durrington @FBMH_UoM

Well said! Addressing these health inequalities should be a priority for any and every government.

[Navendu Mishra @NavPMishra]

The huge rise in deaths from liver disease exemplifies the decline of our nation's health under the Conservatives, with worsening outcomes and widening inequalities.

Stockport's liver disease mortality rate is 16.5% higher than the average.

I secured a debate on this crisis 👇🏾

@manni_patel @ID_LIVER Not my best angle!

[Varinder Athwal @VSAthwal]

Congratulations to all involved. Really important to have these guidelines for a group that can be ‘lost in the gap’ between adult and children’s services. Will read and re-read.

Well done @ChrisMysko
Really important to understand where we are before deciding where we need to go!

@VSAthwal presented at #BASL2023 today on how ID LIVER is improving early detection of #LiverDisease

[EASLnews @EASLnews]

🔬 Exciting Findings at #EASLCongress 2023!

Karen Piper Hanley presents groundbreaking research on liver fibrosis at the General Session II. Her study, titled "An Integrative Multi-omic Approach Defines Therapeutic Pathways in Liver Fibrosis," revealed promising insights into altered cell state and chromatin organisation. This innovative approach holds great potential for developing new therapeutic strategies.

[Varinder Athwal @VSAthwal]

Building on collaborations from @ID_LIVER to improve outcomes for people with liver disease. @sbrihealthcare

[MFT Research and Innovation @MFT_Research]

Researchers at @MFTnhs and @OfficialUoM have been awarded over £1 million by @NHSEngland to explore the use of an innovative test for the most common liver cancer, HCC.
