Main duties of the job
Applications are invited for a full-time Senior Clinical Fellow in Nutrition and Intestinal Failure at University Hospital of Southampton (UHS).

The Nutrition Team consists of specialist nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, 4 Consultant Gastroenterologists and 3 Intestinal Failure Surgeons.
