Hepatitis C and Stigma Training Module

Hep C U Later is an NHS initiative (part of the NHS Addictions Provider Alliance) commissioned by the NHS England Viral Hepatitis Elimination Programme to support their national ambition of eliminating hepatitis B and C ahead of the World Health Organisation’s 2030 target.  Hepatitis C is a blood borne virus that if left untreated can cause liver disease, liver cancer and death.  Testing for hepatitis C is simple and anyone over 18 in England can access the free NHS Hepatitis C Testing Portal: https://hepctest.nhs.uk/ref/cul. Curative hepatitis C treatment is also available and is highly effective.   

However, stigma poses a significant barrier to people accessing testing and treatment.  In response to this, Hep C U Later have launched a free CPD accredited Hepatitis C and Stigma Training Module.  This training takes less than 30 minutes to complete.  Simply register and complete the training to download your certificate at the end of the training.
