Happy Friday 🌞 As some of the recruited patients are reaching long-term follow up, I thought could share a fun fact about the liver: the liver is a powerhouse of an organ, carrying out over 500 functions! (Source: British Liver Trust)

Happy Friday! Feels like summer has finally come around, with temperatures set to rise to 30°C today in London!☀️🌡️ Be sure to stay hydrated, wear sun protection, light clothes, and avoid the high sun (around 11am-3pm). Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine!🌞
