INHSU Hepatitis C Intervention Symposium - Cleveland, Ohio

Join the International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU) for this symposium focusing on the practical aspects of implementing innovative interventions for hepatitis C virus (HCV), including point-of-care testing, telehealth, peer support, care navigation and case finding.

This symposium is intended for anyone working with people who use drugs, interested in implementing or scaling up interventions for HCV and harm reduction in their service setting, including doctors, nurses, frontline workers, peer workers, program managers, pharmacists, and policymakers from a variety of settings.

It will showcase best practice models of care, highlighting key research, challenges and learnings in a collaborative environment, with the aim of supporting participants to develop or enhance their own HCV or HIV models of care.

After attending this event, you will be able to:

1. Understand evidence-based interventions demonstrated to enhance the HCV care cascade

2. Understand the HCV care cascade and be able to identify areas for enhancement in service delivery (including case finding and linkage to care)

3. Describe how a range of interventions work and how they can be implemented to enhance models of HCV and integrated HIV care and overcome barriers to case finding, testing, diagnosis and linkage to care

4. Identify suitable interventions to enhance service delivery

5. Analyze barriers of implementing successful interventions and how to overcome them
