Welcome and thank you for joining our Hepatitis C in NSP Settings course!
Frontline workers in NSP settings have a crucial and unique role to play in eliminating hep C. Every day, you’re talking to people who might be living with hep C. By sharing messages about testing and treatment, you can support people to protect their health.
This education program is conducted in 2 parts:
Part 1: Online modules (pre-course activity)
Participants should complete the online modules prior to attending the facilitated training. This should take approximately 1 hour to complete. This can be accessed for free at https://ashm.org.au/lms/hepatitis-c-in-nsp-settings/.
Part 1 will be considered assumed knowledge in the facilitated training.
Part 2: Facilitated session
The facilitated component will be comprised of 1 x 2.5 hour interactive online training session consisting of presentations, quizzes, and group discussions.
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Describe risk factors for hep C, enabling discussions with people around prevention and harm reduction
- Describe hep C testing and liver disease assessment
- Recognise the treatment options for hep C
- Identify your local referral pathways for linking people to hep C testing and treatment
- Communicate confidently with people about hep C testing, treatment, and follow-up processes in the NSP
