Join a leading NHS Trust as a Trust Practitioner supporting liver health assessments and hepatitis treatments. This role provides the opportunity to work within community settings and collaborate closely with experienced professionals in the operational delivery network. Ideal for candidates with NHS experience, this role offers comprehensive training and professional development in a supportive environment.
We are seeking a Trust Practitioner at the ST1-2 (SHO) level to join our energetic, dynamic, and collaborative Operational Delivery Network (ODN) team. The ideal candidate will have completed their FY1 and FY2 UK competencies or equivalent.
Mandatory experience includes working within the NHS. Experience in gastroenterology and hepatology is preferable but not essential. This is a 12-month fixed-term contract starting August 2025.
The Royal Surrey is one of 16 pilot sites funded by NHS England and NHS Improvement to develop a Surrey Liver Surveillance ODN. The pilot aims to screen for liver disease in at-risk populations and engage individuals with cirrhosis in hospital-based liver cancer surveillance pathways (6-monthly ultrasound, blood tests, and clinical review). Our goal is to contribute to the national strategy for early cancer diagnosis.
We are expanding our team to provide outstanding, well-resourced, patient-centered care. The post involves working primarily in community venues, including GP clinics and the liver outreach van, to deliver community testing and treatment for hepatitis C and liver health assessments using FibroScan as part of the Surrey Liver HCV and Liver Health Checks network.
For informal discussions or to arrange a visit, please contact Joanne Dowse, ODN Manager, at joanne.dowse3@nhs.net.
This post aims to expand capacity within the HCV and Liver Health Checks operational delivery networks. The successful candidate will work closely with the existing community nursing team, hepatology consultants, and network partners.
Training in FibroScan assessment, capillary, and dry blood spot testing for hepatitis will be provided, along with focused clinical training related to hepatitis C management, liver health promotion, and liver cancer surveillance.
The post involves working with the community hepatology team to provide liver health assessments across various community venues, including the outreach van, GP clinics, and pop-up clinics. The successful candidate will also be a key member of the Surrey HCV and CLHC networks.
Additional opportunities include outpatient clinics in hepatology or gastroenterology, audit work, or participation in a cirrhosis database for Surrey. This is an unbanded post working weekdays, with opportunities for sessional work within medicine as part of the GIM on-call rota.
Royal Surrey is a compassionate, collaborative Trust committed to professional development. We offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing program and are investing over £45 million in our facilities and equipment in the coming years. Our CQC rating is Outstanding.
We are proud of our achievements and the investment in our colleagues' development. Now is an excellent time to join us.
