Hepatitis C Case Finding | Online

Many people may not know their hepatitis C status or be aware that new treatments with minimal side effects and high cure rates are readily available in primary care settings.

This workshop will assist primary healthcare GPs, nurses, practice managers and practice staff in undertaking case finding for hepatitis C in their practice by:

• Identifying target populations

• Conducting searches to identify those patients

• Implementing systems to recall those patients back for testing or care

• Build stronger patient-practice relationships to enhance health outcomes for people living with hepatitis C
