BASL, Falk Foundation UK/IRE and the British Liver Trust all agree in the power of shared understanding to improve patient outcomes. These awards recognise the need to share excellence in clinical service development and improvements that have clear benefit for people with liver disease. Such work is rarely that of one individual or discipline, thus these awards are designed to enable teams to develop an idea or continue their work.

With this philosophy at heart, Falk Foundation and BASL, in association with the British Liver Trust have set up 3 (three) team awards to celebrate those treating people with liver disease and to recognise best practice and initiatives which improve care, address inequalities, and reflect new models of working. Such work is rarely that of one individual and these awards are designed to recognise teams involved in delivering care for patients with liver disease.
