Historically patients with alcohol-related liver disease have received poor quality of care during their admission. In 2014, a guidance bundle was released by the the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) and British Association for the Study of the Liver (BASL) to address this issue. This toolkit has recently received an update to incorporate recent advances in care and improve its usability as well as accessibility.
A panel of guests join the podcast to discuss the perils of "bundle fatigue", the importance of buy-in for implementing guidance, and QI strategies for bringing the updated bundle successfully to your practice.
Dr Oliver Tavabie, Deputy Editor at FG and Hepatology Consultant at the Leeds Liver Unit along with Dr Kohilan Gananandan, Trainee Editor at FG and Hepatology Registrar Royal London Hospital, interview Professor Stuart McPherson and Drs Lynsey Corless and Giovanna McGinty. Professor Stuart McPherson is based at the Liver Unit at Newcastle Upon Tyne NHS Foundation Trust and is the deputy VP for Hepatology at the BSG. Dr Lynsey Corless is a Consultant Hepatologist at Hull Royal Infirmary and the NIHR Research Delivery Network National Specialty and Settings Lead for Hepatology. Dr Giovanna McGinty is a Specialist Gastroenterology Registrar at the North Bristol NHS Trust as well as an Associate Editor at FG. They are amongst the authors of the paper "Decompensated cirrhosis: an update of the BSG/BASL admission care bundle”, published online in Frontline Gastroenterology in April 2025.
