ELASTOGRAPHY AND CAP ASSESSMENT FOR LIVER DISEASE: Training events and feedback representing clinical research programmes in South Africa, Uganda and Kenya

We utilized data collected from three clinical research settings in Africa, where FibroScan™ devices were made available through research funding: the MRC funded a device for use in Uganda and Kenya, while the Francis Crick Institute, UK, provided core funding for a device in South Africa. Our objective was to train clinical and research practitioners on the use of FibroScan, assess its perceived usefulness and application in both healthcare and research contexts, and gather insights to improve and enhance future training efforts. In this report, we present the training sessions conducted across our study sites and analyze the feedback received from participants. This results were presented at the Global Hepatitis Summit (GHS) conference in Los Angeles, USA (March 2025) https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.27249723.v2.
