Who Are We

ToRcH-UK is the trainee collaborative for research and improvement in Hepatology in the UK.

We aim to deliver high-quality projects in order to identify and improve outcomes for patients with liver disease. ToRcH-UK is open to all trainees irrespective of seniority, academic background or geography in recognition that the UK requires future hepatologists across the country and spectrum of clinical hepatology.

We are endorsed by BASL, BSG, SSG, WAGE, USG and supported by Guts UK.

Our remit is outlined in more detail in this paper
