The primary interventions will be delivered through a team of nurses, an evaluation team and practice support team that will be working with each of the services to improved Hepatitis C service delivery.

The EC project team will predominantly be involved in working with providers and staff at EC sites to implement key interventions that have been collated into a Primary Care Practice Toolkit, which cover three domains; patient support, provider support and practice Support. The toolkit is designed to be an educational and implementation resource that the nursing team will support services to deliver.

* Provider support to reduce the impact of hepatitis C and other blood borne viruses
* Practice support to reduce the impact of hepatitis C and other blood borne viruses
