Each individual will receive at least an MRI scan (LiverMultiScan), with many also receiving a FibroScan (Transient Elastography). Patients will then undergo a focused qualitative interview, as well as filling out a questionnaire. The interviews will be thematically analysed and trends identified by significance.
