New Direct Acting Antiviral therapies for Hepatitis C have up to a 99% SVR rate. However, what are the future treatment options for patients who do not achieve a SVR? Join a panel of experts to discuss what to do in patients who have treatment failure, relapse, or resistance and explore the options for patients who experience treatment interruption. The Masterclass is designed for GPs, specialists and nurses who have previous experience in the treatment of Hepatitis C. A high level of knowledge about hepatitis C is assumed.

Make sure you consider this course before you book your flights for AVHEC!
