Patient preferences for care for metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD): 

Let's move towards patient-centred care

Metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) 

• MASLD (fatty liver disease) occurs when there is excess fat in the liver

• MASLD affects 1 in 3 men & 1 in 4 women in UK

• The main causes of MASLD are obesity & type 2 diabetes

• While there is no drug treatment for MASLD, weight loss can reverse disease progression

Research participants - we want to hear from you

• We are looking for people to attend an interview, or small discussion group to ask people about their preferences regarding care for fatty liver disease

• The discussion can take place online / in person / telephone depending on your preference 

• The discussion will take between 30 mins to 2 hours

• All participants enrolled will be paid £25/hr for their time via a amazon voucher

• Findings will be used to design a patient-centred' model of care for people with fatty liver disease

• Please do not worry if you do not know anything about fatty liver disease, no prior knowledge is required!
