INHSU HCV Intervention Symposia
June 8th – 9:30am - 3:00pm
Clemson School of Nursing – 605 Grove Road Greenville, SC 29605
Delivered by: INHSU, in collaboration with the Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination (CGHE) and the National Alliance of State & Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD)
About the Course: This project seeks to build on INHSU’s existing, highly-successful education and knowledge exchange initiatives, by focusing efforts on advanced implementation – providing healthcare practitioners and services with practical education on intervention implementation to enhance HCV care and improve their model of care. This program will be the first of its kind to provide practitioners with detailed information on effective interventions to enhance the HCV care cascade in a practical and accessible way.
The Symposia will showcase good practice interventions and models of care in different settings, highlighting key research, challenges and learnings in a collaborative coaching environment, with the aim of supporting participants to develop or enhance their own HCV models of care.
The program for this interactive training session will focus on practical implementation of evidence-based interventions such as point-of-care testing, reflex testing, peer support, care navigation and medical record auditing.
This course is intended for anyone interested in implementing or scaling up HCV interventions in their service setting including healthcare providers, community members and policy makers from a variety of local settings, e.g. primary care, D&A, corrections, outreach, homelessness, mental health, needle and syringe services & health departments.
Learning Objectives:
Understand evidence-based interventions demonstrated to enhance the HCV care cascade
Describe how a range of interventions work and how they can be implemented to enhance models of HCV care
Understand the HCV care cascade and be able to identify areas for enhancement in service delivery
Identify suitable interventions to enhance service delivery
Analyze barriers of implementing successful interventions and how to overcome them
The symposium will cover interventions such as point-of-care testing, care navigation and peer support, bringing these interventions to life and providing the practical skills and knowledge needed to implement or scale up interventions in your service. A program for the Symposium can be found HERE.
