The Hepatitis C Assessment Through to Treatment Trial (HepCATT) investigated a multi-part intervention to increase the identification and treatment of patients with hepatitis C in primary care. We are sharing the learning from this trial to support the implementation of the NHS England Hepatitis C Virus Elimination Initiative in Primary Care.
When conducting HepCATT we learnt some useful lessons about how to implement the intervention, which we hope will be helpful to NHS England and GP practice staff taking part in the NHS England programme.
