THE UK’s Royal Pharmaceutical
Society and the Hepatitiss C Trust
are urging authorities to allow
nationwide screening for Hepatitis
C to occur in British pharmacies.

trial which saw 19 pharmacies
across the UK participate in a
screening program, picked up more
Hep C sufferers than GP screening.
The trial saw one in six
pharmacist tested patients return a
positive Hep C result.

program to all UK pharmacies,
experts said that it could help
thousands of citizens who otherwise
would be unaware of their
condition, and the subsequent risk
of liver disease and cancer that they
face.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 19 Aug 10 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 19 Aug 10
