Crynodeb
The NHS in England has an ambition to reduce the levels of hepatitis C and hepatitis B transmission to improve public health outcomes. Which will contribute to the World Health Organisation (WHO) 2030 goals of the elimination of viral hepatitis as a public health threat.
As Public Health England have a strategy to achieve by 2030, which aims to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health problem, by reducing new viral hepatitis infections by 90% and reduce deaths due to viral hepatitis by 65%. We are therefore looking for innovative, forward-thinking individuals who can help achieve the end goal of elimination.
Greater Manchester has one of the highest prevalence rates for HCV infection in the UK – with estimates from Public Health England that around 17,500 individuals are chronically infected, but just over 10,000 are diagnosed, and only a few thousand have been successfully treated.
With the roll out of 'Opt out' testing in our Emergency Departments the number of patients being tested and treated for viral hepatitis has increased. Which in turn, increases our clinic capacity and workload.
The vast majority of individuals with hepatitis B are not aware they have the infection, highlighting the critical need to increase diagnosis rates to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with this often overlooked infection.
This post will require you to have a high degree of autonomy, manage your own clinic caseload, possess excellent communication skills and ideally have experience in caring for patients with complex care needs. The post holder will be responsible for their own clinics in a community and hospital setting.
Lead and facilitate nurse-led clinics – working independently alongside medical staff.
Assess all new viral hepatitis patients.
Carry out fibro-scanning procedure in selected patients – reporting initial interpretation of report to Lead Nurse and/ or Consultant Physician.
Provide counselling and information on all aspects of hepatitis, its implications, treatment and outcome.
Discuss and evaluate patient contraceptive needs prior to initiation of treatment.
Take routine venous and difficult access bloods.
Refer to consultant clinic for review of tests, physical examination, and initiation of treatments.
Arrange liver scans as required.
Monitor blood results and follow up patients on treatment in nurse-clinics.
Monitor treatment adherence, weight dosing on scripts and supply of medications.
Discuss side effects, management of treatment and adherence to the medication.
Visit patients in the community.
Provide telephone follow-up as per protocol.
Please note that the main base of this role will be North Manchester general hospital , however you may be required to
work at other MFT sites as part of Infectious Diseases Managed single services.
