- improves competency in the management of patients with hepatitis B and C infection
- develops skills to support health behaviour change and enhances patient safety including medicines management
- encourages quality clinical leadership
- ultimately encourages patients to keep themselves well, saving vital funds within health budgets.
This certificate is comprised of a Hepatitis eLearning Module and the face-to-face training day (emodule free of charge*).
This certificate is aimed largely at generalist clinicians such as GPs and nurses already working in primary care but also provides useful information for others including commissioners, public health practitioners, community-based practitioners, pharmacists and service users and HIV service providers.
