Join INHSU and EMCDDA for this half-day workshop focussing on the practical implementation of evidence-based interventions for hepatitis C such as point-of-care testing, dried blood spot testing, peer support, patient navigation and case finding.

This workshop is intended for anyone interested in implementing or scaling up interventions for hepatitis C in their service setting, including healthcare providers, community members 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 workshop 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.

In addition, the EMCDDA Increase access to hepatitis C testing and care in drug services toolkit will be presented.

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

The workshop will begin at 1:00pm, with registration and lunch from 12:00pm. The workshop will end at 5:00pm.

The workshop is delivered by the International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU) in collaboration with EMCDDA.
