The originalhepatitis C: patient re-engagement exercisewas partly carried out by Public Health England (PHE) which has now been superseded by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). This is why the original materials carry thePHEbrand, but the evaluation refers toUKHSA

Untreated hepatitis C infection causes cirrhosis and liver cancer. Very effective, well-tolerated oral therapies are now available on the NHS.

To enable people previously diagnosed with hepatitis C to be treated for their infection, NHS England and the PHE organised a national patient re-engagement exercise to help find and treat people with hepatitis C virus infection.

These documents provide further information and templates to support GPs and ODNs to deliver this important initiative.
