Be a part of Beyond the C and help us eliminate hepatitis C
Australia requires heightened effort to increase diagnosis of hepatitis C in order to achieve its goal of eliminating hepatitis C by 2030. To support Australia to achieve this elimination goal, the Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine (ASHM) has launched its partnership program, Beyond the C.
Beyond the C is helping increase testing and treatment by providing primary care with vital hepatitis C case-finding tools.
Left untreated, hepatitis C infection can lead to the development of liver cancer and cirrhosis of the liver. Hepatitis C infection is the most common cause of liver disease requiring liver transplantation in Australia. This is despite significant advances in treatment options that have a 95 per cent efficacy in curing the disease.
Why sign up for Beyond the C?
- Improve the quality of care for communities and priority populations most affected by hepatitis C
- There is a $1500 incentive for practices who complete the program
- The Beyond the C program aligns with the new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements for GPs. At completion of the project, participating GPs can self-submit their CPD hours under the Measuring Outcomes (MO) category
