Viral Hepatitis C (HCV) treatment is more tolerable & effective than ever before, despite this untreated HCV remains prevalent within Bristol in a community of people with active and historic intravenous drug use.  Untreated HCV can cause cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.  There is unmet need focused among the most disadvantaged and work continues to reduce barriers to accessing treatment. All patients should be offered optimum treatment including specialist clinic appointments, fibro scanning and bloods. This community-based clinic aims to make gold standard HCV treatment more accessible to homeless people in Bristol.
