Hepatitis C Community of Practice Working with Homeless Populations

Hosted by the Victorian HIV and Hepatitis Integrated Training and Learning program, this Hepatitis C Community of Practice session is intended to support the alcohol and other drugs workforce with the opportunity to bring case based studies for discussion and mutual learning.

This peer learning approach enhances the practice of AOD workers to recognise those who may be living with or at risk of HCV and supporting them onto the care pathway, particularly if they are disengaged with traditional health care services.

Linking attendees with expert knowledge in point of care testing, prison settings, nurse led models of care and community facing support services, the Community of Practice aims to support the elimination of Hepatitis C in Victoria.
