Abstract
West Yorkshire Liver Care ODN Website was launched in July 2024 to showcase our work in the community and raise awareness of liver care in West Yorkshire. It signposts users to various services, including local NHS hepatology and drug and alcohol services in the area.
The website provides people with high-quality information about hepatitis C, liver conditions, and information about general liver care. It highlights our network, partners and access to services and activities in their local area. We provide an events page for the public where they can find out about liver care events locally.
The website is compliant with accessibility and privacy. It has the functionality to translate all pages into various languages, enabling people, where English is not their first language, to find out the same information.
It was initially populated with information about the ODN, patient information and services in West Yorkshire, this information is reviewed regularly to ensure it is current. To promote the website, we used a business cards for those whose phone don’t have the ability to scan a QR code.
A separate analytical report shows which pages are viewed and by how many people.
Since the launch, the views have increased monthly, with over 10,000 visitors by February 2025. The most popular page is the events page, it advertises mobile clinic unit events allowing members of the public to access free liver scans or testing across West Yorkshire.
This is reflected by the number of people attending events and enquiring about services and helped contributed to over 12,000 people receiving a liver scan or requesting a test for hepatitis C in the vehicle
Having the website has provided a simple way for the ODN to engage with the public and hard to reach communities where English may not be their first language.
