This pivotal role encompasses cross-site coverage across St. Albans Hospital, Hemel Hempstead Hospital, and Watford General Hospital, providing a comprehensive and engaging professional environment.
This represents a significant opportunity for a senior nurse to play a lead role in the advancement of care for patients with fatty liver disease and alcohol-related liver disease. This will be achieved through a newly established diagnostic centre for liver disease, sponsored by the local CDC. The multifaceted nature of this position offers considerable scope for the development of entirely novel provisions of patient care.
The successful post-holder will collaborate closely with the Hepatology Team, Gastroenterology consultants, the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT), immediate colleagues, and other administrative and clinical members of the Gastroenterology service.
