All information regarding MMR and the vaccine was provided to all the patients who attended

A focus group and questionnaire regarding concerns about getting vaccinated were handed out to the patients - this is to understand why some people may choose not to get vaccinated

Hepatitis C Testing

15/05/2024

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.
