Join the International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU) and partners for this half-day symposium focussing on the practical implementation of evidence-based interventions for hepatitis C. Topics are still to be confirmed but are likely to include interventions such as point-of-care testing, interventions in prisons, outreach, indigenous-led interventions and peer support.

This symposium is intended for anyone in Canada interested in implementing or scaling up interventions for hepatitis C in their service setting, including healthcare providers, community members, frontline service providers, researchers, educators, program staff and policymakers from a variety of settings, e.g. primary care, drug and alcohol services, corrections, outreach, homelessness, mental health, needle and syringe services & health departments.

The symposium will showcase good practice interventions and models of care, highlighting key research, challenges and learnings in a collaborative coaching environment, with the aim of supporting participants to develop or enhance their own models of hepatitis C care.

After attending this event, you will be able to:

Identify areas for enhancing or scaling up your HCV service delivery
Understand how a variety of interventions work
Identify suitable interventions for your service
Describe how the intervention could be implemented in your service setting
Analyse possible barriers to implementing interventions and how to overcome them
