Frontline Liver Care – Empowering Healthcare Workers is a fully catered, one-day, face-to-face course designed specifically for Nurses and other Healthcare Workers working in regional, rural, and remote communities who care for people at risk of or living with liver disease and primary liver cancer.

Developed by expert Nurses, this course provides practical, evidence-based training focused on early detection, clinical management, and navigating local referral pathways.
