Join the International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU) for this symposium focussing on the practical implementation of evidence-based interventions for hepatitis C and harm reduction such as point-of-care testing, peer support, care navigation, outreach and case finding. This Symposium will be held adjacent to the 'Doing it in the Dessert: Viral Hepatitis and STI Elimination Summit, organised by Ven Centres and Arizona Liver Health. To register for the Summit, visit didven.com

This symposium 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 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 care.

After attending this event, you will be able to:

Understand evidence-based interventions demonstrated to enhance the HCV care cascade
Understand the HCV care cascade and be able to identify areas for enhancement in service delivery (including
case finding and linkage to care)
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
Identify suitable interventions to enhance service delivery
Analyze barriers of implementing successful interventions and how to overcome them
