Hepatitis C on the Road: A Journey of Awareness and Action

It's very easy, and your chance of curing it is absolutely fantastic, and you've got us as a support.
Picture this: a road trip across Northern England with a mission far more important than sightseeing. In this episode of the 'Believe in People Podcast', host Matthew Butler takes listeners on a trans-Pennine journey, making ten stops at various Change Grow Live services along the M62 motorway. The focus? Hepatitis C—its facts, treatments, and the efforts towards its micro-elimination. Matthew's car journey isn't just about geography; it's about connecting with people and their stories, from St Helens to Hull.
At each stop, he engages with experts and individuals impacted by Hepatitis C, shedding light on the disease's effect on rough sleepers and the stigma that surrounds it. The episode emphasizes the importance of testing and the multi-disciplinary care approach provided by services like ReNew. It's a compelling call to action: Hepatitis C is highly treatable, and getting tested is the first step towards a cure.
So, buckle up and join Matthew on this enlightening road trip that combines public health initiatives with personal stories, all aimed at raising awareness and encouraging action.
