Course in Hepatitis C in Primary Care & Drug and Alcohol Settings

People who use injection drugs represent approximately 90% of newly acquired hepatitis C (HCV) infection. Clinicians working with PWID play an important role in reducing HCV-related morbidity and mortality through early diagnosis and treatment.

A new course will strengthen the capacity of clinical staff to test for, treat and manage HCV in their setting. Through online learning and a face-face workshop, delivered by local experts, participants will gain the skills to confidently prescribe the new DAAs.
