Advancing integration of Hepatitis C care | Online

Hosted by ASHM
What if the key to better hepatitis C care is rethinking what we mean by “culturally safe”?
ASHM’s interactive Forum returns for its fourth year with a dynamic three-part design to challenge assumptions, centre lived experience and turn person-centred care into practical system change. Expect bold conversations, hands-on sessions and real-world strategies you can take straight back to practice.
Learning outcomes:
1. Explain how person-centred care and universal safety principles can strengthen the quality and cultural responsiveness of services.
2. Recognise how stigma, unconscious bias and intersectional identities influence people’s experiences, access to care and health outcomes.
3. Integrate lived experience perspectives to improve inclusivity, trust and responsiveness within clinical and community settings.
4. Identify practical and scalable translational strategies that support system-level improvements and more equitable care pathways.
Target audience: All health workers, including clinicians and prescribers, service managers, nurses, AOD workers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers, peer workers, and other health professionals who work in any setting with priority populations and are involved in the assessment and work-up of people with hepatitis C in Australia.
