Training for professionals

The Hepatitis C Trust is the expert in professional training around hepatitis C.

We help organisations and practitioners across the UK to understand the virus and to improve their policies and practices in supporting people living with hepatitis C.

What we offer

We offer specifically tailored, professional training in all areas of hepatitis C, including a range of accredited packages. 

The information is presented in a clear and easy to understand format and caters to staff at all levels of experience and involvement in patient care.

We will discuss your training needs in detail and can create bespoke courses to suit the needs of your organisation. 

Training can be delivered online or face-to-face at a location that works best for you.

It is aimed at anyone working with people who are at risk of blood-borne viruses. Our training is particularly useful for any staff who are undertaking dry blood spot or oral swab testing, harm reduction interventions and pre and post-test discussions.
