Public Health England's annual 'Hepatitis C in the UK' report is the key national reporting document for hepatitis C. This is the tenth such report and follows the WHO Global Health Sector Strategy on Viral Hepatitis 2016 to 2021 and the draft action plan for the health sector response to viral hepatitis in the WHO European region. The report is structured to support UK monitoring of the Global Health Sector Strategy goals and summarises the impact of UK action plans to drive down mortality from HCV and reduce the number of new infections.
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.
