For Health Professionals

Hepatitis Queensland has developed a three-part online video series focused on key steps to treating hepatitis C in general practices. The short videos are packed full of great tips and tools to support GPs in continuing the hepatitis C elimination effort in their practice.

This was part of the HEAT initiative, a project sponsored by Queensland Health. Hepatitis Queensland would like to acknowledge Dr. Alison Stewart for her support, collaboration and enthusiasm in supporting the HEAT initiative and the development of these education videos.
