Title: Nurse Specialists now able to prescribe DAAs in Australia
Post by: Philadelphia on June 03, 2017, 06:38:10 pm
In a push to eliminate HCV here in Australia, now Nurse Specialists/Practitioners experienced in the management of HCV treatment are able to prescribe DAAs in many cases.

More complex cases are always referred to a hepatologist or gastroenterologist or infectious disease specialist.

This will reduce waiting lists and bottlenecks which may occur at that point of the treatment journey.
