Congratulations to BOPDHB GPs for Hepatitis Prescribing 10 Apr 2017

Congratulations to the BOPDHB General Practitioners – you have prescribed the most Hepatitis C treatments (Viekira Pak) to your patients compared to all other DHBs for the period Oct-Dec 2016.

Dear Colleagues,

Congratulations to the BOPDHB General Practitioners – you have prescribed the most Hepatitis C treatments (Viekira Pak) to your patients compared to all other DHBs for the period Oct-Dec 2016. Well done to all of you who have tackled this area of care that may have previously been unfamiliar to you.  We believe that this prescribing has not come from one practice as some may think.  So again – well done!

We had a good CME session on Hepatitis C last Sept.  However if there is interest in a further session please do not hesitate to make contact and let us know - baynav@bopdhb.govt.nz

Kind regards,
Dr Alex Lampen-Smith
Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist
