Resources for Health Professionals
Since its inception in 1969, the Canadian Liver Foundation has worked closely with the medical community to facilitate professional education and address resource needs for health care professionals looking to provide the best possible care for their patients. We recognize that primary healthcare providers play a critical role in reducing the incidence and impact of liver disease by identifying at-risk patients and providing early diagnosis, intervention and ongoing care. With this in mind, the CLF actively seeks opportunities to leverage the knowledge and expertise of the liver healthcare community to educate and offer tools and resources to primary healthcare providers.
The CLF partners with professional associations like the
Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver (CASL) and the
Canadian Association of Hepatology Nurses (CAHN) along with academic institutions, hospitals, government agencies, pharmaceutical companies and others, to help focus efforts and resources towards our common goal of improving liver healthcare in Canada.
We want to hear from the medical community. Input from you helps us to create professional education programs which meet the needs of your patients and your community. If you would like information or education in a particular area (i.e.: pediatric, liver health/prevention, etc.) or type of liver disease (i.e.: fatty liver disease, hepatitis, liver cancer, etc.), please contact Karen Seto at
kseto@liver.ca or
