On the 2 January 2025, the Community Liver Health Checks team featured in a news item about cancer and early diagnosis. Following the broadcast on BBC Breakfast, the team received numerous enquiries about the service from members of the public and how they could attend one of our free scanning events.
Our next planned public event was on 14 January 2025, at Leeds Kirkgate Market. From the enquires we had received after the news segment we had anticipated that the event would be busy, but we were amazed at the interest on the day meaning that the scanning slots available were booked up immediately and we had to stop booking people in.
Those patients who we could not scan on the day due to capacity, were directed to our website events page where they could find the location of events in the future. On the day we scanned 32 individual and provided health and wellbeing advise, engaging with over sixty people at the event.
