ASHM is pleased to announce that the first annual Hepatitis Prescriber Forum will be held online.

The Hepatitis B Prescriber Forum is a half-day forum designed for hepatitis B s100 prescribers that will cover current and relevant sector priorities and topics

With expert panels and interactive case discussions, the 2023 Hepatitis B Prescriber Forum is an opportunity to dive deep into emerging areas of hepatitis B treatment and management and discuss the contemporary issues facing hepatitis B clinical care in Australia.

Learning objectives

• Describe barriers to accessing hepatitis B management, treatment, and linkage to care

• Evaluate hepatitis B patients’ suitability for monitoring and treatment

• Develop guideline-based approaches for managing patients with hepatitis B, referring to both clinical- and community-facing resources

The theme of the forum is: Models of Care, with topics such as:

• Patient centred care

• Perspectives of Nurse Practitioner prescribers

• Navigating Medicare

• Provision of care to patients from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds

The forum aims to facilitate a highly skilled multidisciplinary workforce that is respectful of and responsive to the needs of priority populations for hepatitis B and aware of new research and issues in the sectors.

The full program will be released shortly.
