Description
There are around 90,000 people within England with the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). Some populations are of higher risk of HCV, including people who were born in endemic countries, people who inject drugs, and those who are in custody.
NHS England has a number of targeted programmes to find those at the highest risk of HCV transmission / infection; this programme will provide us with some background into rates of infection within the general population, providing access to those who may have been at risk many years ago but not consider themselves to be so now - and may be silently harbouring progressive liver disease.
This notice asks for an organisation to provide screening access to general populations, alongside existing programmes to support health and well being, liver health etc.
It is expected that this will include;
- Static / shop front type service availability in at least 20 towns / cities of interest
- Access to an existing screening methodology (e.g. liver health)
- Facilities to be able to offer follow up procedures where appropriate (e.g. antibody and/or PCR screening, fibro scan)
- Linkage to care for those found to need it.
This is a National requirement - There will be a minimum of 20 delivery locations centred on urban conurbations which the organisation must identify and have access to.
