It's #WorldHepatitisDay today, remember the important message that hepatitis can't wait - BBV screen those at risk and refer untreated patients. Treatment is easy and doesn't even require a face-to-face appointment in some cases as we demonstrated in our pharmacy clinic 👇👇

[NHSGGC - Pharmacy Services @NHSGGCPharmacy]

It's #WorldHepatitisDay and we want to celebrate the work our pharmacy team do supporting patients with hepatitis C.

[Andrew @andrewsomm]

@JenniferT1977 @rpharms Thank you, I totally agree more studies are needed and guidance developed to help optimise care for trans patients

[Andrew @andrewsomm]

My blog for #TransAwarenessWeek on some ways we can improve the care of trans patients, from the importance of using the correct pronouns to considering how hormone therapy and affirming surgery might impact on drug handling and clearance (an area sorely lacking in guidance) 👇🏳️‍⚧️

[Royal College of Pharmacy @rc_pharm]

"We must pay particular attention to marginalised groups."

To celebrate #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, pharmacist @andrewsomm explains how you can provide transgender patients with the best quality care.

The pharmacy team identified 42 patients non-cirrhotic on FIB4/Fibroscan with bloods within 1 year from the local database and treated more than half via telephone consultation, including patients with a long duration of infection and high rate of prior DNAs. #INHSU2021

[Andrew @andrewsomm]

Enjoyed sharing our work developing a pharmacist-led telephone clinic for treating patients with HCV infection in @NHSGGC at @INHepSU this morning. Check out a catch up session later on if you couldn't watch it live! @alisonboyle_1 @FionaMarra @stephentbarclay #INHSU2021
