Greater Manchester Hepatitis C Strategy 2006

This report summarises the presentations and discussions from the HCV Action webinar, 'Hepatitis C in the justice system - going beyond prisons', held on Friday 23rd October as part of the National Hepatitis C ODN Stakeholder Webinar series. The event focused in particular on providing support around hepatitis C for those making the transition from prison to the community.

Eighteen months on from the start of NHS England’s hepatitis C elimination deal, HCV Action’s annual ODN event, co-hosted with the British Viral Hepatitis Group, explored how the UK has progressed towards elimination. It particularly focused on overcoming the challenges posed by the significant disruption of Covid-19 on healthcare services. This year’s event was held as a half-day webinar due to coronavirus-related restrictions and welcomed 129 participants from almost all ODNs and partner services.
