He is a member of British Association of Study of the Liver (BASL) and has chaired the Regional HPB (Hepato-Pancreatic Biliary) cancer multi-disciplinary team.  Prior to becoming a doctor, he was a research biochemist and utilizes this expertise in advising on nutrition.  As a liver and pancreas doctor many of his patients suffer from the effects of alcohol excess.  Dr Sharer's role as clinical lead of the highly acclaimed University Hospitals Dorset Alcohol Care and Treatment Service (ACTS), allows a team approach to helping this type of problem.
