Public Health England published its annual 'Hepatitis C in the UK' report on 13th September 2019. This is the key national reporting document for hepatitis C and monitors the UK's progress towards its goal of eliminating the virus by 2030. This year's report finds that although fewer people are living with chronic hepatitis C than in previous years, the proportion of these people who do not know they are infected has increased to two-thirds (up from half).
HCV Action good practice film: The Hepatitis C Trust's Peer to Peer service
In this good practice film, HCV Action interviews Archie Christian and Emma Ward from The Hepatitis C Trust about the hugely successful Peer to Peer service that they provide. The service primarily visits drugs services, and provides informal education and awareness sessions on hepatitis C to at-risk groups and drugs service staff. The film provides an overview of why the service was established; how it is delivered, and what results it has achieved since being set up in 2010.
