With the Covid-19 outbreak having caused significant disruption to healthcare services, including those for hepatitis C, HCV Action organised a webinar to discuss how services have been affected in different areas across the country and explore how hepatitis C services can most effectively be re-established as we emerge from the early phase of the outbreak. This report provides a summary of the remarks from each of the four speakers and the Q&A which followed.
An audit of hepatitis C services in a representative sample of English prisons, 2013
Download
This audit by Public Health England (PHE) and the Department of Health (DH) describes national best practice standards relating to hepatitis C services in prisons in England; compares hepatitis C services in a representative sample of 20 English prisons against these national best practice standards, and provides objective evidence and intelligence for commissioners and service providers to assist in the development and delivery of high quality hepatitis C services in prisons. The audit aims to contribute positively to improving the care of people in prison and the quality of clinical services provided; to identify areas of good practice which can then be shared across the prison estate using the information from the audit; and to identify whether there are impediments to best care which can be addressed by the commissioning body.
