The first week of October will see services in the Isle of Man taking part in Hepatitis C Awareness Week.  The campaign brings together local drug services, Health Promotion, Public Health, GUM Clinic, Education and local Hepatitis C Support Group - Manx Liverty.  Information will be provided by DASH (Drug Advice Service & Helpline) and Health Promotion, for doctors, dentists and pharmacists, as well as an all island poster campaign designed to make people think about Hepatitis C and whether they have been or could be at risk.

 

Manx Liverty will be manning an information desk in the foyer of Nobles Hospital and you will be able to find a number of interesting leaflets about Hepatitis C as well as get a chance to speak to one of the members of the Support Group.

 

Dr P. Kishore, Public Health Directorate, Shelley Craig from DASH and Trish Ashworth from Manx Liverty came together for an interview with Dan Davies of 'Talking Heads' on Manx Radio. Click here to download  the recording entitled 'Track 01' http://www.filegone.com/f2lm
