WINNER: Gilead Sciences, CGL and the NHS: Gilead partnering with Drug Treatment Services (and the NHS) to support eliminating Hepatitis C (HCV)

A Patient Access to Care team was deployed to remove barriers and simplify the Hepatitis C referral pathway. It comprised staff training, pathway review and on-site service development.
