The World Health Organisation (WHO) published this policy brief in April 2019 to set out the current landscape of country hepatitis policies for harm reduction and hepatitis C testing and treatment for people who inject drugs and people in prisons.
It aims to capture how governments are translating the WHO Global health sector strategy on viral hepatitis 2016-2021, which the UK Government has signed up to, in national plans. It also provides a summary of the enablers and barriers to hepatitis C testing and treatment in these populations.

On 26th June 2015, HCV Action and Public Health England (PHE) staged a hepatitis C good practice roadshow in London. The event was designed to showcase and share best practice in the prevention, diagnosis, testing and treatment of hepatitis C, and identify specific issues and potential solutions for tackling hepatitis C in the capital. Among the speakers were Professor William Rosenberg (Consultant Hepatologist at the Royal Free Hospitall), Professor Paul Cosford (Director of Health Protection and Medical Director at PHE), Will Huxter (Regional Director for Specialised Commissioning, NHS England), Dr Chloe Orkin (HIV and Hepatitis Lead for Royal Barts NHS Trust), and a host of others. These slides are taken from the presentations of the speakers, and provide a host of relevant information for anyone concerned with tackling hepatitis C both locally and nationally.
