Advanced Hepatology Training Posts

The ATPs below are approved for advanced training in Hepatology and include experience in a transplant (level 3) centre. These posts will form the ST6 year (primarily) for trainees branching into hepatology as part of the 2022 gastroenterology curriculum. The allocation process will now be region-based but there is flexibility if a trainee is happy to move regions. For the 6 month/6 month posts in terms of whether one or both are filled from the same region depends on funding arrangements and potential trainee interest. All trainees interested in hepatology ATPs will be asked to complete the specific trainee information form. Of note the ATP year is not mandatory for NTN(A) hepatology trainees (typically ACL), who have had appropriate hepatology clinical experience, but they should otherwise make up minimum time in a transplant centre if not based in one: Hepatology ATP Information 2025.
