Early Career BASL Liver Fellowship
Background
This fellowship aims to offer the opportunity for a junior trainee (IMT1, 2, 3 or ST4) who has yet to obtain an NTN, but has an interest in hepatology, to attend the BASL Annual Meeting 2026 in South Wales from 6 - 9 October 2026, to see the latest research and clinical updates in Hepatology. There will also be an opportunity to spend a week at a Hepatology-active DGH of your choice from an agreed list, across the UK. This will be an excellent opportunity to observe busy day to day clinical hepatology practice in the UK. Successful applicants are strongly encouraged to visit a hospital outside of their deanery.
