Hepatitis C Testing

via The NHS Clinical Hepatitis C Testing Van in Thursby Surgerys Car Park

 

You may receive a text message or a letter inviting you to attend for testing (PCR) assessment and advice!

 

We can check if you have Hepatitis C with a simple blood test, this is called a PCR test. If it is positive, we can offer you an assessment for treatment in the NHS.

 

This could help people unknowingly living with Hepatitis C to get a life-saving diagnosis and treatment sooner as Hepatitis C infection can lead to serious liver disease and cancer if untreated.

 

There are easy treatments (oral tablets) with short course of medication that can cure most people with Hepatitis C.
