This framework, produced jointly with NHS Liver Care is aimed at all
nursing staff working in all clinical settings across primary, secondary
and tertiary care. It recognises that nursing staff have a key role in
health promotion and aims to empower them to identify the signs and risk
factors of liver disease, make brief interventions and signpost
patients to support services. It also supports staff to build their
levels of competence throughout their career trajectories. The
competences described are cross-referenced to the NHS Knowledge Skills
Framework to help to embed the framework in practice.
