What is Listen?
The Listen support network was launched in 2006 by King’s College Hospital’s Liver Transplant Unit professionals and volunteer post-transplant patients. Research and experience has shown that it can be helpful and reassuring for patients, their relatives and friends, to meet with someone who has had a liver transplant, see how well they are years later, and ask questions about the process.
What does Listen do?
- Monthly group support meetings via Zoom
- 1-1 conversations, face to face or by phone, email, text or video call over Zoom
- Ward Mentor rounds once a week
- Facebook Group
- Listen Lodges (inexpensive rooms are available for patients and relatives)
