09.01.2022 Hi all, I hope this finds you well and safe. Early last week I received an email from Kirby and SAHMRI that we will be postponing our SCALE-C project due to the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19. I will continue to ring people that are on their treatment, but I won't be performing any tests, all tests will be regular blood taking. If you need treatment you most certainly can go on treatment however testing will be by taking blood through venepunture. I will keep you updated with info when I know it.

05.01.2022 For Health Professionals prescribing HCV DAA's (direct-acting antivirals) there is a fantastic phone app called HEP ichart. For any interactions in our Clients other medications it has a traffic light 'system' and explains why/Why the medication interact. E.g., the following pic will show if a client is on Ciclosporin or an ART Atazanivir

03.01.2022 While Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (hereafter referred to as Aboriginal) people account for 23% of the population, they constitute 810% of all Australians living with chronic hepatitis C (HCV). Reducing HCV incidence and increasing access to HCV therapy are priorities of national and jurisdictional hepatitis C strategies, all of which highlight Aboriginal people as a priority population, given the significant burden of disease, rising HCV incidence and low rates of... treatment uptake. Marginalised populations often fare less well in relation to access to health care innovations, and this is particularly the case for Aboriginal people. In this context, it cannot be guaranteed that the roll out of new HCV treatments (direct acting antivirals or DAAs) will have equal impact for Aboriginal people. Understanding how HCV treatment is accessed by Aboriginal people is essential to avoid creating further gaps in liver disease and Aboriginal health outcomes. See more
