Details
Untreated hepatitis C infection causes cirrhosis and liver cancer. Very effective, well tolerated oral therapies are now available on the NHS.
To enable people previously diagnosed with hepatitis C to be treated for their infection, NHS England (NHSE) and Public Health England (PHE) have organised a national ‘patient re-engagement exercise’ to help find and treat people with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
These documents provide further information and templates to support GPs and Operational Delivery Networks (ODNs) to deliver this important initiative.
