What do we want to achieve? Co-ordinating patient pathways in prison To improve access to testing and treatment To improve quality and equity of access to treatment. To improve outcomes

Work together to develop care pathway Achieve the best outcomes for patients Change is not “quick and easy” Lack of knowledge (HCV not a priority) Training - DBST Shared Decision making

Where are we now? DBST – 20 staff trained Staff attending education days to improve knowledge Keen to drive OPT- OUT testing forward Advertise on Prisoner televisions Prisoner competition to design “liver clinic” poster

Is Opt-out Achievable ? YES But there are Hurdles No clear directive – effectively being left for Healthcare staff to organise (time consuming and frustrating) Healthcare staff very keen to engage and learn They need support to drive this forward A “Lead” to Champion Opt-out testing.

Treatment with new regimens HMP Pentonville – one patient commenced: Sofosbuvir/PegIfn/Ribavirin (4 weeks) HMP Mount – one patient commenced: Sofosbuvir/Daclatasvir/Ribavirin (one week) HMP Brixton – one patient commenced: Harvoni / Ribavirin (2 weeks)
