The event built on the success of the first Midlands & East Hepatitis C ODN Educational Event, which took place in February 2017.

In September 2017, the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Liver Health launched an inquiry into achieving the elimination of hepatitis C in England. Three oral evidence sessions were held in October, featuring a range of expert stakeholders answering questions from APPG members. The APPG also received written submissions of evidence from individuals and organisations. Following the inquiry this report, 'Eliminating Hepatitis C in England', was produced, gathering the evidence received and setting out recommendations for action to ensure a hepatitis C-free England.
