NUTH is one of the highest recruiting CRNs in England and our research interests encompass a wide range of observational and interventional Phase 2 and 3 trials across a broad range of areas within hepatology e.g. alcohol related liver disease, autoimmune liver disease, viral hepatitis, MASLD, hepatocellular carcinoma, portal hypertension and palliative care. The trials include inpatient and outpatient studies and some based in endoscopy. The post holder is expected to support with team with driving study recruitment and will be the lead fellow on a number of the interventional/CTIMP studies undertaking the day to day management including trial visits. Their role will also include facilitating identification of patients suitable for inpatient studies. There will be dedicated time in their job plan for trials work but also an expectation to be available to members of the research team if there are queries or issues between unscheduled visits.
