NCEPOD ArLD Survey Report

The survey Report – ‘Remeasuring the Units’ was published by NCEPOD on 15th December 2022 and highlights where there is further work to be done. It shows that the majority of hospitals still do not have Alcohol Care Teams, that the use of the BASL/BSG Care Bundle needs to be in routine use more widely, and that in over a quarter of Trusts, patients with decompensated cirrhosis are not routinely under the care of a gastroenterologist or hepatologist.
