Hepatitis C is a viral infection of the liver with significant morbidity and mortality. Managing chronic hepatitis C requires multi-disciplinary teams.
Nurse-supported hepatitis C shared care programs have evolved over the past decade and are now established in WA in the Kimberley, the Great Southern and the South West regions.
