INHSU Hepatitis C Intervention Symposium - San Diego, United States

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 such as point-of-care testing, peer support, care navigation, telehealth and case finding.

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 hepatitis C 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
