Description

Are you currently an experienced band 7 nurse looking to further develop your skills and experience in a band 8a ACP role? Or perhaps you're an experienced ACP looking for a fresh, exciting challenge to work in a new speciality providing a national clinical service?

The National Centre for Human Retrovirology (NCHR) provides care to those with HTLV infection within the UK. The hub is based at St Mary's Hospital, with spoke clinics in Birmingham, Manchester and York.

The NCHR delivers clinical care to those with infection, supports affected family members, and provides advice to healthcare professionals within and outside the Trust.

The NCHR is viewed internationally as a model for delivery of multidisciplinary clinical care, with translational research performed within the unit contributing to the development of clinical guidelines nationally and internationally.

Complications of disease include myelopathy and leukaemia/lymphoma.

The inflammatory component of the infection can cause a range of clinical presentations such as uveitis, alveolitis, seronegative arthritis, and bowel and bladder disturbance.

A proportion of patients are asymptomatic carriers of HTLV infection under 6 or 12 month review, and the ACP would be expected to manage many of this group
