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.
