Consult with clinical teams to communicate and refer complex decisions for further assessment and review. Attend MDT meetings and action planned future requests. Ensure that appropriate surveillance, including regular imaging for primary liver cancers (Hepatocellular carcinoma) are offered in a timely manner and in line with national guidelines. Coordinate the handover with other teams to facilitate safe and effective transition of care between services to provide seamless support for patients. Inform patients and carers on how to make contact when they feel that their condition or needs have changed, including what to do out of hours.
