A big thank you to Amanda Clements from BASL
Until recently Amanda Clements was the Hepatology Nurse Consultant for the South West liver unit, Derriford Hospital, Plymouth. She had been in post for 15 years and had been actively involved with BASL Nurse Forum (BASLNF) since it first began. Amanda has now left both the BASLNF and her job in Plymouth to embark on a new career pathway.
During her time with BASL NF hepatology nursing services have rapidly expanded reflecting the growth of liver disease and Amanda was pivotal in promoting and developing the forum, ensuring that liver nursing stayed on the national agenda. She endeavoured to highlight and expand access to educational opportunities and was chief editor for the BASL Nurse e-learning toolkits. Amanda also did exemplary work for end of life and long term condition management for patients and their care givers, affected by end stage liver disease.
Amanda will be greatly missed by BASLNF but as a committee we will continue to build on solid foundations to develop and promote liver nursing at a national level. From all of the committee we wish Amanda every success in her new role.
