Target grup: Participants were asked t cnsider, wh are the target grups at whm t fcus awareness and testing effrts? All current and frmer drug users - Injecting drug users, and in particular thse that have shared equipment - Intra-nasal drug users (e.g. pwder ccaine users) - Sterid users - Legal high users Alchl users Hmeless peple Migrant grups (e.g. Suth Asians / Eastern Eurpeans) All partners f drug users Children f service users (testing f service users children culd even be cnsidered) All family members f thse with hepatitis C Thse wh have had unprtected sex Yung peple Men wh have sex with men (MSMs) HIV (c-infectin) Thse wh have had a medical prcedure abrad 2. The Anchr pint: Next, grups were asked t think abut where these target grups mst reliably access the system Prisns Sexual health services GPs Needle exchanges Pharmacies GUMs Peer supprt at ther services Third sectr agencies Self-referral Bking appintments at maternity and A&E Outreach services Drug services

4 Hstels Primary care Walk-in centres A&E Maternity services Immigratin services Cmmunity centres r msques 3. Grups went n t cnsider what interventins we want t deliver at the anchr pint? Peer educatin sessins and supprt, including assistance in attending appintments Screening f all kinds: Oral swabs / dry bld spt (DBS) testing, r signpsting t testing An ffer f testing at different stages Helplines Access t treatment / initiatin f treatment Offer infrmatin n transmissin, including useful literature Specialist wrkers General awareness raising, including thrugh educative questinnaires and literature prviding infrmatin n preventin, testing, treatment and supprt Bld tests Clinics in-huse Fibrscans Pre- and pst-test cunselling Cmplete SVR Referral t hspital Harm reductin initiatives All staff able t ffer hepatitis C interventins One-stp-shps Wrap-arund supprt and multi-agency cllabratin 4.

Lastly, grups were asked t think abut hw their anchr mdel culd be sustainably delivered? Prmpt: Think f the furthest place in yur area and ask can we deliver this interventin there? Everyne wrking in partnership Cntinued funding Cst-effective planning, realistic expectatins Next Steps fr Merseyside and Cheshire It is vital that lcal cmmissiners, health prfessinals and ther influencers in the Cheshire and Merseyside area can seize the pprtunity that exists t eliminate hepatitis C as a serius public health cncern, building n the messages presented during the radshw talks and wrkshp. Belw are sme immediate steps that culd be taken t imprve hepatitis C services in Merseyside and Cheshire: Frmulate a clear plan fr tackling hepatitis C in Merseyside and Cheshire: Ensure that Health and Wellbeing Bards in the area include a sectin n hepatitis C in their Jint Strategic Needs Assessments and plans, assessing the risk grups and including detailed targets. Utilise the suggestins frm the afternn wrkshp t assess which hepatitis C interventins culd be integrated int existing services, and engage with a range f key lcal stakehlders t plan new interventins and ensure they are sustainably and effectively delivered.

6 Design and publish an integrated care pathway fr hepatitis C thrugh partnership wrking between the Lcal Authrities, CCGs, and NHS England Specialised Cmmissining which includes the key anchr pints discussed belw. Data cllectin: Gain a picture f the effectiveness and necessity f hepatitis C services and measure prgress by ensuring cmprehensive cllectin and detailed recrding f data. Health prfessinals seeking t establish new hepatitis C services can use strng data t gain funding fr their services, and lcal authrities can ensure that, as a cnditin f cmmissining drug and sexual health services, the right datasets are cllected fr hepatitis C. Cmmissin fr hepatitis C imprvements in drug and sexual health services: In additin t cmmissining imprved data cllectin, lcal authrities in Merseyside and Cheshire, respnsible fr cmmissining drug and sexual health services, can check: Are staff adequately trained t deliver infrmatin and testing fr service-users? Are drug service-users wh inject drugs tested fr hepatitis C n an pt-ut basis? Utilise HCV Actin s resurces: Explre the case studies f gd practice, research reprts, tls and templates that are available n the HCV Actin website at and share yur wn gd practice stries with HCV Actin. Feedback What will yu d differently in yur wrk as a result f this event? Test mre patients fr hepatitis C. If psitive, talk t them abut their result and its implicatins befre referring n t secndary care. I ll pass n learned knwledge t clleagues and clients. Engage with cmmissiners Try and gain funding fr DBS testing As Deputy Directr f Nursing & Midwifery fr Public Health England, I will cnsider wrking mre clsely with the RCM reginally, i.e. t raise awareness f the 7% antenatal wmen testing psitive fr HCV.

7 Try and wrk better with secndary care agencies t prmte mre effective treatment, supprt peple in hepatitis C treatment and reduce DNA rates Which sessin did yu find the mst useful? I enjyed Prfessr Lmbard s sessin, as well as Sandra Oelbaum s wrkshp, as bth these sessins cvered hw we can be mst helpful in identifying and treating peple with hepatitis C virus The cmbinatin f talks was gd, as they cmplemented each ther BBV pt-ut testing in prisn All f it D yu have any cmments r questins which yu did nt have the pprtunity t raise during the day? Thanks t Kelly-Ann fr raising the imprtance f educating yung peple regarding HCV. I am cncerned that a new ppulatin f yung peple (under 18) are starting t inject and lack educatin regarding transmissin, safer injecting etc. When is the next ne?
