Liverpool, United Kingdom Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, self -motivated dietitian to join our Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) dietetic team at Royal Liverpool University Hospital (RLUH), the regional centre for HPB cancer surgery in Cheshire and Merseyside.

The HPB dietetic team sits within the surgical dietetic team, with dietitians providing specialist dietetic support for HPB, critical care, nutrition support and upper GI. The post-holder will support the band 7 specialist HPB dietitian in delivering complex dietetic support to the patient group, supported by a band 4 dietetic assistant practitioner for HPB.

We are looking for a dietitian with excellent communication skills, the ability to work both independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team and with experience of working with people with complex nutritional needs.

As part of a newly developed pathway alongside Cancer Alliance for the management of people with HPB cancers, the post holder will be responsible for supporting the delivery of a regional specialist dietetic service to people with suspected HPB cancers, from initial investigation and throughout their treatment.

The post-holder will attend weekly MDT meetings and work closely with the wider HPB team, including specialist nurses, support workers and surgeons.

As a regional service there will be extensive collaborative work with other trusts to ensure the seamless management of these patients.

Operational responsibilities include monitoring referrals and activity, prioritising caseload, evaluating activity, and responding to service demands.

The HPB specialist dietitian will contribute to service improvement, training, development of protocols, policies, resources, standards, and audit.

We provide regular supervision, appraisals, and team meetings. The HPB dietetic team are part of a larger team with regular meetings and opportunity for Continued Professional Development (CPD).

The RLUH Dietetic Department consists of 30 dietitians and 6 dietetic assistants. This includes Specialists in Upper GI, Nephrology, Diabetes, Nutrition Support, Gastroenterology and Haematology.

The department has a well-established Practice Supervision programme and is committed to training other Health Care Professionals and student dietitians (P2 and P3 students).

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.

The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
