PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT

Curing HCV – Leave No Patient Behind – AbbVie Breakfast Symposium

When: Saturday 1 October 2016
Time: 7.30am – 9.15am
Cost: Complimentary
Breakfast will be served at the AbbVie Satellite Symposium.

Whilst the new all-oral direct acting antivirals have revolutionised the treatment of hepatitis C in Australia, challenges persist with certain patient types and non-traditional treatment settings. The AbbVie Satellite Symposium will address some of these challenges through real world case studies presented by a panel of local experts. This interactive session will provide an overview of the tools, data and resources available to inform clinical decisions, as well as other considerations in these complex patients and diverse environments. Delegates will have the opportunity to share their own clinical decisions through live polling.
