Hepatitis B Family Tree: Webinar Series
The Hepatitis B Family tree video series aimed at the non-clinical health workforce. Part 1 includes an overview of the epidemiology, transmission, and testing as well as things to consider when working with clients with chronic hepatitis B. Part 1 is narrated by Dr Joseph Debattista – Sexual Health HIV & Hepatitis Coordinator, Metro North Public Health Unit, Brisbane.
Part 2 takes a deeper look at what a conversation might look like when a patient receives a positive diagnosis. This webinar has been filmed over three appointments and follows the testing, diagnosis and six monthly check up (liver cancer surveillance) process while providing some of the background information for the non-clinical workforce.
