Online webinar: Snapshot of hepatitis

ACIPC is excited to announce that we are holding a Lunch and Learn webinar on 21 June 2023 at 12:00 pm AEST.

Topic: Snapshot of viral Hepatitis in Australia in 2023 and your role in achieving elimination
Presenter: Jacqui Richmond

Abstract:  This presentation will provide a brief overview of hepatitis B and hepatitis C in Australia in 2023, including epidemiology, testing, and treatment strategies. The world has set a global goal of viral hepatitis elimination by 2030, but there is a real risk we will not achieve elimination in Australia. We all have a role to play, and this presentation will inspire you to do your bit!

Jacqui is a registered nurse and completed a PhD in 2006. She currently works at the Burnet Institute as the Workforce Development and Health Service Delivery Program Manager for the Eliminate Hepatitis C Australia partnership and at the Barwon Public Health Unit as the Viral Hepatitis Clinical Nurse Consultant.
