Residents are being invited to get a free health check in the town centre next week amid an alarming increase in liver disease.
On Tuesday (June 14) The Parade in Watford will host a mobile liver screening event as part of the British Live Trust roadshow.
It comes as one in five adults in Watford could be walking around with liver disease and be completely unaware because there are usually no early symptoms.
The mobile unit will be open from 10am until 4pm where you can find out what the preventative measures and be have a free liver scan.
Nine in 10 cases of liver disease are preventable with the main causes being alcohol, obesity and viral hepatitis.
Pamela Healy, Chief Executive of British Liver Trust, says: "One in five of us are at risk of liver disease and the numbers of people being diagnosed have been increasing at an alarming rate.
"Liver damage develops silently with no signs or symptoms and people often don’t realise they have a problem until it is too late."
