The patient facing part of the role will provide dietetic expertise as part of the new Steatotic Liver Disease (SLD) MDT project in Gloucestershire by outreaching into Gloucestershires brand new state of the art Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC). The project is aimed at identifying and treating those at risk of steatotic liver disease. This role will provide assessment, identification and interventions for altered liver function alongside co existing conditions such as obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and altered liver function. This care will be in the form of 1:1 and group sessions both virtually and face to face.

The non - clinical part of this role offers the successful candidate an opportunity to design, develop and deliver innovative nutritional interventions to support adult patients with liver disease related to fat accumulation in the liver. This includes auditing clinical interventions with a key aim of this project to reduce severity and progression of these conditions and the need for referral to secondary care for treatments. This will involve a scoping of current resources, identifying unmet clinical and nutritional patients needs, designing and developing group and individual patient pathways in delivering nutritional care.

A main part of this role includes dedicated project management time to collect and analyse data from your dietetic interventions, scope the needs of this patient group, influence the designing of new pathways and advocate the nutritional needs of the service users.
