So exciting to see this infographic online! Hope it is helpful for others wanting to implement a model like this. Thank you @INHepSU for making this beautiful summary of this model of care.

Another winner of our Models of Care competition joined us at #INHSU2021 today. @bridgetdraper shared details of the 'one-stop-shop GP-led #hepatitisC care program in #Myanmar.

It was a privilege to host @AustraliaAwards Fellows from #Myanmar and #Tanzania recently for two weeks of workshops on harm reduction and the prevention, treatment and testing of #hepatitis C. Find out more at 👇https://t.co/RXWaVnBeW0

At least 659 Victorians have died after catching COVID-19 while being treated for other conditions in hospitals, with doctors warning that patients are delaying care over infection fears. https://t.co/MuHdtC7gU5

[Dr Bridget Draper @bridgetdraper]

Key conclusion to highlight: "Prioritizing patient-centred care, rapid provision of results, flexible appointments and convenient clinic locations can promote accessible and acceptable services which may in turn help accelerate progress in reaching HCV elimination targets"

[Dr Bridget Draper @bridgetdraper]

A nice to start to the week! Our paper on the patient experience accessing our simplified hepatitis C model of care in Yangon, Myanmar is now published in @PLOSGPH. Amazing piece of work led by my colleague Dr Win Lei Yee. @BurnetInstitute

A recent outbreak of #COVID-19 at Canberra Hospital did not come as a surprise to many advocates who have for some time been warning authorities of the risks of relaxing their approach to the prevention of COVID transmission, writes @JenniferDoggett https://t.co/kZ5FOcsvZk

Really disappointed that Labor voted against my amendment to extend the Paid Parental Leave scheme to PhD students. This is a cruel and gaping oversight by the government.

This is why PhD students deserve PPL and significantly higher stipends:

[Caitlin Cassidy @caitecassidy]

I've been speaking to PhD candidates about the struggle to maintain a decent standard of living on stipend rates - well below minimum wage, because they're considered students, not workers. Particularly tough in this economy https://t.co/65MQnUnsX8

Was delighted to attend my PhD graduation at Monash yesterday! Very formal ceremony (interrupted by a fire alarm!) and some very informal photos 🎓🎓

Thanks to my supervisors for supporting me and for teaching me so much! @AlisaPedrana @MargaretHellard & Jess Howell!

For those at high risk (history of asthma/hayfever)
> keep windows/doors shut
> reduce time outdoors, wear a mask
> if you have an asthma preventer, take it
> if you have a hayfever steroidal nasal spray, take it
> carry your reliever with you (ventolin/symbicort etc)

[CATIE @CATIEinfo]

Today at #INHSU2022 we caught up with @MargaretHellard from Australia. Margaret presented about how streamlining and integrating testing and treatment into harm reduction programs can help us reach #hepatitisC elimination.

#hepC.
