✦ Synopsis

A one-day consensus meeting was convened at the Clinical Research Facility in Birmingham on 19 November 2004. The group sought to include representatives from the eight UK and Eire liver transplant units and in the event received 28 delegates from seven units.

The purpose of the group was to look at issues regarding the transplantation of patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD) primarily from a psychosocial and addiction perspective rather than from a physical one. The group hoped to define some of the issues and dilemmas that surround the decision to transplant the ALD patient in an era of donor shortage, paying particular attention to the issue of return to alcohol use post-transplant.
