Job summary
This role plays a pivotal part within the Liver Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) service, providing specialist support for patients presenting with, or at risk of, acute alcohol withdrawal and alcohol-related liver disease. Working under the guidance of the Liver CNS team, the post holder delivers timely assessment, treatment planning, education, and ongoing support to ensure safe, evidence-based care throughout the patient's hospital journey.
The role acts as a key link between acute hospital services, community providers, and external support agencies, helping to develop personalised care pathways that improve patient outcomes, enhance the patient experience, and reduce avoidable admissions and readmissions. By ensuring patients and their families receive appropriate information, signposting, and onward referrals, the post holder contributes to a more coordinated and sustainable approach to managing alcohol-related harm and liver disease.
In addition to direct patient care, the role supports service development initiatives, promotes best practice across multidisciplinary teams, and contributes to the education and training of nursing staff, learners, and support workers. As the service evolves, the post holder may also develop specialist competencies within hepatology services, including Fibroscan assessment and independent clinic activity, further strengthening the Trust's capacity to deliver high-quality liver care.
Main duties of the job
The primary purpose of the role is to improve the identification, assessment, and management of patients affected by alcohol withdrawal and alcohol-related liver disease, ensuring a coordinated and patient-centred approach to care. The post holder will work collaboratively with the Liver CNS team, acute clinical services, community providers, and external agencies to deliver seamless care pathways that support recovery, improve patient experience, and promote long-term health outcomes.
Alongside direct clinical responsibilities, the post holder will contribute to the development of specialist liver services through education, service improvement activities, and the adoption of evidence-based practice. By supporting patients, families, and healthcare professionals, the role will help strengthen the Trust's capability to deliver high-quality hepatology and alcohol care while reducing healthcare inequalities, unnecessary admissions, and repeat presentations.
