• Know what Hepatitis C is, how it is spread, and have awareness of the global health impact of the virus
• Understand the principles of harm reduction and prevention advice to “at risk” populations
• Understand the longer term impacts on physical health
• Be able to dispel “myths” about testing, diagnosis and treatment
• Know and understand treatment pathways, from testing to cure

• Become inspired to join the Hepatitis C eradication army!
