Download
On Friday 10th February 2017, HCV Action and NHS England held a Midlands & East Hepatitis C Educational Event in Nottingham. With hepatitis C Operational Delivery Networks (ODNs) still relatively new in operation, the event was held with the aim of offering the chance for ODNs across the Midlands and East region to come together to discuss their experiences, share best practice and develop solutions to some of the challenges they face as they seek to ensure the highest standards of hepatitis C care and treatment. These slides are taken from the day's presentations, which included updates on the local ODNs, Prof Graham Foster (National Clinical Chair for the Hepatitis C Operational Delivery Networks)'s national hepatitis C update, clinical debates and examples of community hepatitis services.
