HepCare Plus : Enhancing Primary Care Identification and Treatment of Hepatitis C Virus in High-Risk Individuals
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) disproportionately affects people who inject drugs, migrants, prisoners and the homeless. An integrated, peer-led model of care involving primary and secondary care is required to enhance the identification and treatment of HCV in these marginalised groups. HepCare Plus builds on the network and achievements of HepCare Europe (a co-funded Third Health Programme of the European Union/Health Service Executive project). It further identifies those not accessing care and facilitates prompt assessment and treatment of those diagnosed with HCV, with the aid of a peer support worker (PSW) and a community HCV nurse specialist. Of 109 individuals identified and assessed for HCV treatment, 100 commenced HCV treatment. Despite interruptions to treatment (COVID-19 pandemic and national health service cyberattack) there was a high-level of treatment completion with PSW engagement (98%, n = 98). Eighty (73%) individuals were previously aware of a positive HCV status, highlighting the ongoing need to address barriers preventing marginalised groups from engaging with care. HepCare Plus reiterates the defining role of peer-led community interventions in HCV treatment engagement and the need for continuous open-ended HCV care. It provides a sustainable framework to meaningfully combat HCV and achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of HCV elimination by 2030.
