Once incorporated into the treatment programme, patients are assessed by our Hepatitis Nurse Specialist, taught to self-administer their medications, and monitored subsequently for the development of side effects of treatment.

Patients are initially reviewed on a weekly basis, undergo weekly laboratory investigations with dose adjustment to their therapy for the first month, then fortnightly for the second month of treatment, then monthly until the completion of their therapy.

Some patients may require hospitalisation for a short period to initiate therapy. Patients on Hepatitis C, twelve-month treatment plan who fail to respond at four months will discontinue their therapy, and 50% of overall treatment costs will be reimbursed in respect for unused portion of treatment package.

All patients who complete treatment undergo an end-of-treatment assessment six months following the completion of treatment to establish whether they have been cured of their chronic infection.
