This FREE one day conference, organised by Hepatitis Scotland, is aimed at staff who work in, or have strategic responsibility for, primary and secondary care addiction services.
The day will explore the background to developing successful hepatitis C case-finding initiatives, demonstrating real world successes and issues for practitioners to consider.
The aim is to stimulate further interest in, and understanding of, qualitative methods in the addiction field. The day will be structured around lectures by four leading UK-based qualitative researchers, who will each showcase one of their own qualitative projects.
