Be a key member of the multidisciplinary teams working closely with hepatology consultants, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, and ward nurses on the specialist medical wards. Provide educational talks on the importance of nutrition in hepatology to inform patients, nurses, and junior doctors. Be involved with the supervision and support of junior dietitians, dietetic assistants, and dietetic students.We are looking for someone who has a keen interest in acute dietetics and nutrition support, with evidence of relevant, strong clinical skills.
