About this Event
'Bloody Serious Facts ONLINE' 1.5 hour zoom session is the essential new 'little sister' of the popular 2.5 hour face to face workshops (due back in September hopefully!).
These new FREE online summary sessions are run in partnership between St Vincents Hospital and Harm Reduction Victoria- Victoria's state drug user organisation.
Bloody Serious Facts is an interactive online workshop that was developed and is run by healthcare professionals and people with lived experience of injecting drug use and Hep C.
This training is suitable for AOD workers, nurses, NSP workers, community health or anyone else who works with people who are at risk of or affected by Hepatitis C.
All are welcome.
