A legend of surgery and medical education. Thank you for your service Prof Ellis it was an honour to know you.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr Ahmed Elsharkawy, a dedicated trustee of the British Liver Trust and a passionate advocate for people affected by liver disease. Ahmed brought extraordinary commitment, insight and compassion to everything he did. As a consultant hepatologist, he worked tirelessly to improve the lives of patients through earlier diagnosis and better treatments. As a trustee of the British Liver Trust and Children's Liver Disease Foundation, Ahmed was a thoughtful and principled member of our Board. He was generous with his time, supportive of colleagues and unwavering in his focus on what mattered most – better care, greater awareness and better futures for patients and families affected by liver disease. Those who knew and worked with Ahmed will remember not only his expertise and integrity, but also his warmth, humour and kindness. Ahmed leaves a lasting legacy in the progress made towards improved management and care for liver disease, with a particular passion for improving diagnosis and outcomes for people with viral hepatitis. He will be greatly missed by everyone at the British Liver Trust and across the liver community. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues at this very sad time.

A great opportunity to join an excellent team. Enquiries to @NicosKessaris or @rhz59. jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/jobadv…
