Professor Martin Lombard was appointed as DH’s first National Clinical Director for Liver Disease on 18 January 2010.

Professor Lombard has been a consultant for 20 years and for the past eight years he has been clinical director for gastroenterology at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital NHS Trust, where he has been at the forefront of reform in treating liver disease. He is also active on regional and national professional bodies for services and training.

The incidence and burden of liver disease are increasing and it has become one of the major causes of death in the UK. Liver disease is largely preventable. Martin and the DH policy team have set up various working and reference groups to assist in developing a national liver disease strategy to improve prevention and treatment along the care pathway.

Professor Lombard will remain active in clinical medicine and will continue to work part-time at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital NHS Trust.
