Support
Other Facebook groups
In addition to our Facebook page and our main Facebook Support group, we have a number of other groups that you can join.
Precious Memories – Facebook group
Precious Memories is a closed group for those of you who have been affected by the death of an ICP baby. Posts in this group can only be seen by members of the group.
ICP Support – Beyond Birth
ICP Support – Beyond Birth Group is a closed group for for mums who have had ICP and need privacy to be able to chat about their experience of having had the condition and how it has left them feeling. It is also for women who have had ICP (even if it was many years ago) but continue to have liver problems or who want advice about contraception, HRT, gallstones and more. Posts in this group can only be seen by members of the group.
Healthcare professionals
This group is for healthcare professionals who want to learn more about ICP. We do not give medical advice but we can provide you with the most up-to-date information there is regarding diagnosis, treatment and management of ICP, as some of us work in research into the condition.
Regional groups
We have several regional groups, currently run as pilot projects.
These groups are not intended to replace the main group, which you should continue to use to ask questions about ICP or to get support. The regional groups are more like informal community groups where you can meet others who may live in your area for a ‘virtual’ cake, coffee and chat. We will also use these groups to update you about any ICP-related events that may be taking place in your area or to advertise fundraising events more local to you.
The groups are:
