Paracetamol especially is a useful form of analgesia and often poorly used in liver disease especially by non specialists who are anxious about using. Vastly preferable to NSAID or codeine. #palliativehepatology #BASLEOL

Ufere, MD MSCE Gastroenterology Christopher Woodrell Bob Arnold American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) UCLA Gastroenterology and Hepatology Brijen Shah Thinking we need #palliativehepatology camp. Like ASGE has scope camp. We can have palliative camp. AASLD. Lesson 1: palliative care is not only end of life care. Lesson 2. You can get palliative care on transplant list. Lesson 3. You can get better at patient discussions.

Great day with BASL getting the REDUCe2 off the ground. It has been fantastic getting to meet everyone. #palliativehepatology #baslEOL

Managing pain in advanced liver disease is complex - underreported by patients and under treated by physicians - Hazel Woodland talks us through the pragmatic BASL education feed guidelines #palliativehepatology #BASLEOL

It is difficult to discuss prognosis, goals, values while in pain, depressed, or with uncontrolled pruritus/cramps. Much of primary PC education focuses on GOC convos, but it has to go hand in hand with symptom management. #palliativehepatology Josh Briscoe Eric Widera, MD Alex Smith, MD

Really useful practical guidelines for long-term management LTADs in cirrhosis. Safe and effective tools to use in this cohort of patients. Minor complications can be easily managed and collaborative working between hospitals and community is key #palliativehepatology #BASLEOL
