Very proud recipient of this special award #HCV #HBV Sydney Local Health District AHA

Yes, more ‘tailored’ health services needed. Also funding for services & some very committed teams, easier public & private collaborations and much more needed….

Thank you to the Australian nurses who completed our survey. The survey redcap.link/Nursing-in_COV… will be open until February. We hope to report the true impact that COVID-19 has had on our nursing practice and well being. @margfry @COVID_Australia @AussieNurse2

Important reminder from the #hepatitis nurses at #VH2022: “It is the health services that are hard to reach, not the people.” A change of language is needed to rightly name this structural barrier to health. AHA ASHM

Inspiring presentation by Melinda Hassall presented by EC Australia Jacqui Richmond about the invaluable role of nurses and opportunities to enhance their engagement in #viralhepatitis care #VH2022 ASHM

Feeling reenergised from great 3 day #VH2022 conference, reconnecting with AHA members, inspiring colleagues and great pals. Fabulous program, with the gems taken away for local implementation AHA Melinda Hassall ASHM Hepatitis NSW

Congratulations @MargFry for inspiring a legacy of nurses to undertake research, to publish their work and/or to become NPs. A true nursing leader indeed.

So many challenges for nurses & NPs to support Medicare ineligible patients accessing HCV treatment. Nurses frustrated & a sense of failure for not being able to support patients with treatment. Huge $ costs & anxiety for patients. ASHM Shelley Kerr AHA Ethnic Communities Q
