This post is required to expand Hepatology services for the effective delivery of a program of work in the Liver Health Checks pilot. Working with existing team members the post holder will deliver clinics designed to identify people with undiagnosed cirrhosis within target populations at risk for metabolic liver disease, alcohol related liver disease or people at risk of viral hepatitis. This post has strategic and operational components and the post holder will be required to work with key stakeholders and patients across the network, to proactively support timely and rapid progression from diagnosis to cancer surveillance pathways for those identified on fibro scan assessment to have liver cirrhosis. The successful candidate will be trained to undertake fibro scans a non-invasive diagnostic test to identify patients with advanced liver fibrosis or cirrhosis. Community based liver health checks clinics will recruit patients for assessment working closely with GPs, the HCV ODN van team, and other stakeholders. The post holder will have a key role in delivering education and health promotion advice to all patients enrolled in the program, including those with normal diagnostic investigations. The liver health checks practitioner will co-ordinate onward referral to secondary care liver clinics and Hepatocellular cancer surveillance pathways and will work closely with the lead clinician peer support workers and pathway navigators to retain patients in cancer surveillance pathways. There will be significant overlap with the existing HCV ODN, and the post holder will also collaborate with the existing clinical nurse specialists (HCV and HBV), hepatologists and HCV ODN MDT coordinator to ensure any patient with liver disease caused by viral hepatitis can access additional diagnostics e.g., HCV diagnostics and treatment.
