Lisa Ellis

Lisa Ellis has been working as a Clinical Nurse Specialist within the Liver Unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham since 2016.

 

Lisa has previously worked as a BBV Nurse within the drug and alcohol services between 2003 and 2012. This included 2 years as a non-medical prescriber for opiate substitute treatment. Lisa’s work with hepatitis C began in 1998 when she was first involved in teaching patients to self- inject interferon on a weekly basis.

 

Lisa strongly feels that seeing the evolvement of hepatitis C treatment being easy to access, well tolerated and without any barriers is truly amazing.  The elimination of hepatitis C by 2025 is a huge challenge but requires perseverance, patience and energy to engage the disengaged.
