National Deliberative Dialogue on Integrated Hepatitis C (HCV) Programming and Services

Wednesday, February 11, 2015

Delta Toronto • Kensington Ballroom, Southcore Financial Centre, 75 Lower Simcoe St, Toronto, ON

The first day of the Deliberative Dialogue will focus on different approaches to integrated HCV programs and services. Brief presentations will highlight program collaboration and service integration models that meet the comprehensive needs of people at risk for, and with lived experience of, HCV. In the afternoon, we will focus on how putting the needs of people living with HCV at the centre of service delivery can help us think differently about what integrated program models might look like. Brief presentations on customized HCV treatment programs will set the stage for our discussions.

The second day of the Deliberative Dialogue will focus on population-level approaches to HCV services. A panel of brief presentations will synthesize population-specific priorities and challenges. Participants will engage in small-group discussions focused on identifying strengths, opportunities and priority recommendations to move integrated HCV programs forward with specific populations. An interactive and iterative process will allow each group to provide feedback and build on each other’s thinking, culminating in final population-level recommendations.
