About Liver Intensive Care
An internationally recognised centre of excellence for the management of critically unwell adults. The unit treats more patients with acute liver failure than any other centre in the world and supports Europe's largest transplantation programme.
Liver Intensive Care Description
We have a specialist interest in the management of acute liver failure, complications of portal hypertension and chronic liver disease and liver transplantation. We are a regional referral centre for Hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders and liver trauma. We also admit patients from other disciplines, and have a pedigree in the management of complex haematology, cardiology and cardiothoracic surgical patients requiring circulatory support (including mechanical assist) and general medical and surgical patients. A significant potion of the case-mix consists of patients with complex needs, for whom the input of number of different medical specialities is required to attain the best possible outcomes.
All modalities of organ support are available on-site and new treatments and techniques are constantly being evaluated.
We offer a ‘one-stop’ centre for a range of critical illnesses. We are one of a very few providers worldwide who are able to offer this facility and are among the best of breed globally. The unit offers highly specialist, aggressive treatment which is distinctive from conventional intensive care. We are unique in the UK and other hospitals refer to us, often in life-saving situations.

You are warmly invited to the 2nd Liver ICU conference - 27th and 28th November 2017
This exciting 2 day programme for ICU and hepatology doctors and nurses will arm the practitioner with the knowledge required to confidently manage patients with liver disease - and to recognise those patients who warrant discussion with a tertiary centre.
