Last week, clinical teams from across the UK recruiting to the PROMISE trial came together at King's to share insights and learnings.
They were joined by patient representatives who shared their stories and experiences of being part of the trial.
Speaking of the day, Chief Investigator of the trial @DebbieShawcros1 said: "It was an absolute privilege to bring together colleagues and patients from our 20 clinical sites across the UK to share our experiences and knowledge of being part of the PROMISE Trial.
It was particularly humbling to hear the personal experiences of our patients enrolled on the trial and to hear the benefits of participating in clinical research tackling the complications of liver disease."

This was my absolute highlight of #ECCO2025
So glad I stayed late to hear the big reveal.
Low emulsifier diets will change clinical and patient’s lives.
Massive congratulations @ProfWhelan & @AaronBancil
Excited to announce results of our #ADDapt trial
After 6 years and the help of 154 people with #CrohnsDisease we prove that restricting #emulsifiers improves disease

How to differentiate depression & anxiety from encephalopathy?
How can we safely treat them when the patient doesn't want to go to a mental health specialist?

After highlighting the steep rise in alcohol-related liver disease in young women, we now highlight an even bigger problem in our children. The highest prevalence of lifetime alcohol use for 11-year-olds (34% girls) was observed in the UK. @Inst_of_Liver
