Description

This is an exciting fix term opportunity, with potential to become a substantive post, to join and further develop our innovative Gastroenterology and Hepatology team.

The North Bristol Liver Unit became the second unit in the country to achieve 'Improving Quality in Liver Services' (IQILS) accreditation.

The liver unit works patients up for liver transplant via a formal link with Kings College London liver transplant unit and manages care post-transplant.

We are a regional TIPSS service with an excellent, expanding interventional radiology department.

Our multidisciplinary hepatology clinic includes access to Fibroscan, critical flicker frequency and alcohol specialist nurses to provide a comprehensive and efficient service.

Referrals into the clinic are guided through detailed community pathways on the local primary care Remedy website, ensuring that the patients reviewed are those requiring specialist care.


The successful appointee (s) will participate in the gastroenterology consultant of the week service along with responsibilities on the out of hours GI bleed roster.

He/she will contribute to the provision of an inpatient and outpatient specialist service including a weekly multi-professional liver clinic. Sub-specialist hepatology interests would be welcomed.


Applicants are required to be on the specialist register for gastroenterology, and have a CCT in gastroenterology (or equivalent) or be within six months of obtaining it by the interview date.
