Main Results:

  • 58% of trainees responded, with 68% being male.
  • 25% of trainees finished training without exposure to a comprehensive specialist hepatology unit.
  • Trainees with specialist liver unit experience and more training years reported higher confidence in managing liver conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Hepatology training in the UK is viewed as suboptimal by trainees.
  • A national strategy is necessary to improve and standardize hepatology training.
  • Ensuring all trainees experience specialist liver units is recommended.
