Hepatology
The hepatology team in Sheffield provides inpatient and outpatient care across both sites at Northern General Hospital and the Royal Hallamshire Hospital. The team of 4 consultants (Professor Dermot Gleeson, Dr Claire Salmon, Dr Barbara Hoeroldt, Dr Al Joudeh) and the specialist nurses treat liver in-patients with a wide array of conditions and also provide general and specialist hepatology clinics including management of patients with chronic liver conditions, primary liver tumours and viral hepaititis. In addition there is a weekly hepatology radiological MDT and weekly hepatology teaching for the trainees. The hepatology department at Sheffield has close links to the local transplant centres and is involved in the management of pre and post transplant patients. The department offers a fibroscan service and receives referrals from regional hospitals and from 2017 onwards, the interventional radiology team also offers a service for transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunts. The hepatology team has ongoing research interests in alcoholic hepatitis and autoimmune hepatitis.
