Hepatology Fellowship

We are inviting applications for our Hepatology Fellowship at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. This post is offered for one-year fixed term and suited to individuals who are considering a career in Gastroenterology in the UK. Applicants will have completed core medical training or the equivalent, be registered with the GMC and have experience working within the NHS. Extensive Gastroenterology experience is not a requirement

This post has been developed to innovative our community health liver healthcheck and surveillance programs, specifically aiming to enhance engagement in underserved communities, reduce non-attendance and improve liver outcomes. Working with our consultant hepatologists, specialist nurses, surveillance navigators and admin teams, the post holder will design and test different tools to improve engagement in all aspects of out-patient liver care including cancer surveillance & clinic attendance. Oversight of data collection, write up and where appropriate, publication will sit within the post holders remit.

In addition, the post holder will contribute to inpatient gastro/hep ward duties (20 days over the year), deliver hepatology outpatient clinics in the community and contribute to out of hours working (to be determined by experience level).
