CanHepC is leading a joint effort reuniting expertise within its Network of researchers, clinicians, community organizations, and healthcare providers in the development of a Blueprint that reflects cross-sector priorities, recommendations and perspectives to inform hepatitis C elimination efforts in Canada. 

Following the Blueprint development webinar that took place this past May and taking into account the feedback received at the subsequent Blueprint Stakeholder Workshop held in June before the Global Hepatitis Summit, the CanHepC Blueprint Writing Committee has now finished writing the first draft of this document for which we are now seeking your feedback. * please note the draft Blueprint will be sent by email to participants registered to this webinar at a later date before the webinar takes place.

This hour-long webinar featured:

  • A presentation (approx. 20 mins) given by Dr Jordan Feld, hepatologist at the Toronto General Hospital, chairman of the CanHepC Blueprint Writing group.
  • A question/comment and exchange period (approx. 40 mins) where participants will be free to share their feedback.

Partner organisations in this effort:

The French-language version of this webinar will be presented by Dr Julie Bruneau, Professor of Family Medicine and Emergency at Université de Montréal and Naglaa Shoukry, Professor at the Department of Medicine, Université de Montréal, on Wednesday March 20, 2019 at 12 noon EST.
