Across the UK and globally, employers are facing a growing challenge: rising sickness absence and reduced productivity linked to chronic health conditions. At the same time, employees are experiencing increasing levels of fatigue, burnout, and long-term health problems that affect both professional and personal life.
While many workplace wellbeing initiatives focus on mental health, cardiovascular risk, or musculoskeletal problems, one vital area is often overlooked liver health.

Crucially, much liver disease is preventable or reversible when identified early.
This is where proactive health assessment becomes valuable.
