For World Hepatitis Day, this webinar is being offered in partnership between the National Safer Supply Community of Practice and CATIE, Canada’s source of HIV and hepatitis C information.
The session will share information on how safer supply providers can integrate hepatitis C care into their practice. This will include an overview of hepatitis C testing, treatment and prevention, examples of how other safer supply programs are providing hepatitis C care, and linkage to hepatitis C trainings and resources.
Hepatitis C testing and treatment is highly effective, and easier than ever for both clients and providers. Safer supply providers have close, trusted relationships with clients and are well-suited to deliver low-barrier hepatitis C care. This can support a wholistic approach for the health of people who use drugs, and support the goal of eliminating hepatitis C in Canada.
A moderated Q & A session will follow the discussion. Audience members are welcome to submit their questions in the Q & A box. This is a public event.
English closed captioning will be provided.
