hepatitis B Prescriber Update and/or Case Discussion

Posted Monday 13 May 2024 | ASHM

In this 90-minute interactive case discussion participants will discuss a range of hepatitis B case studies with a specialist or experienced HBV s100 prescriber, highlighting approaches to diagnosing, treating, and managing people living with hepatitis B.

This training provides HBV prescribers an opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to practical case studies spanning diagnosis to treatment initiation and ongoing monitoring.

Case scenarios are developed by ASHM clinical advisors or local experts to meet the identified learning needs of ASHM’s HBV prescribers, which vary from each State and Territory.

Attendees are also encouraged to submit their own cases for discussion. You can receive a second HBV CPD point by submitting and discussing one of your own de-identified patient cases on the night. Please email any cases to Gillian Meikle at gillian.meikle@ashm.org.au by Monday 1 May 2023
