Hepatitis B s100 Case Discussion - Webinar (VIC)

This event is intended to support GPs and Nurse Practitioners eligible to prescribe s100 HBV treatment. Those with complex cases are encouraged to attend, as are low-caseload GPs and Nurse Practitioners, who can benefit from hearing cases relevant to the management of people living with Hepatitis B.

This is a great opportunity for HBV s100 Prescribers to discuss cases and network, and those with a low-caseload to keep up their knowledge and skills.

Participants are encouraged to submit their cases for discussion prior to the event.

This session has been approved 3 x RACGP CPD Activity and 1 x ACRRM PDP points, prescribers will also be awarded 1 HBV CPD point for attending, with an additional point allocated if bringing a case. Certificates of attendance will be provided for participants who self-report CPD.
