Nurses and AHPs during EASL Congress
Hepatology nurses and AHPs play an important role at the EASL Congress. Each year, a full day is dedicated to them, including the Inter-professional Forum (previously known as Nurses & AHPs Forum), poster tours, and oral presentations. The EASL Nurses and AHPs Task Force chairs a large part of the events on this day, so it will be an excellent opportunity for you to meet and interact with them.

EASL Viewpoints - Nurses testimonials
EASL Viewpoints are testimonials, interviews, and videos from healthcare professionals sharing what life is like on the frontlines. In their testimonials, liver nurses describe how their working life was affected by COVID-19.
To honour International Nurses’ Day, we interviewed Liver Nurse Educator at the Leeds Liver Unit and Lecturer in Adult Nursing at the University of Leeds, Michelle Clayton. Additionally, Miss Clayton is a pioneer leader in hepatology nursing, and is the chair of EASL’s Nurses and Allied Health Professionals Task Force.
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hepatology nurse Pamela Ballotta, from the Multivisceral Transplant Unit and Unit of Gastroenterology, Azienda Ospedaliera di Padova, Italy, describes how she and her nursing peers are adopting rigorous practices to carry forward.
