Hepatitis C elimination: amplifying the role of primary care nurses in Australia.

Background Australia's commitment to eliminate hepatitis C by 2030 is underpinned by the mobilisation of the primary care sector. Primary care nurses are well placed to contribute to achieving elimination given their unique access to people with/at risk of hepatitis C and their person-centred approach to care delivery. This study examines the enablers to primary care nurse involvement in elimination efforts.

Province-to-province variability in hepatitis C testing, care, and treatment across Canada.

Background: Few countries have implemented the necessary policy changes to reduce the number of steps in the cascade of care to achieve hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination, including Canada. The aim of this study was to describe and compare legislation, scope of practice, and policy as it relates to the provision of HCV care in each province.

Methods: We reviewed grey literature and regulatory and legislative documents which affect various aspects of the HCV cascade of care.
