LxAddictions24: Hepatitis C, other infectious diseases, and drug-related harms

LxAddictions24: Hepatitis C, other infectious diseases, and drug-related harms

In this episode, Ben Scher talks to Emma Day from the International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU) about being a co-producer for Lisbon Addictions. Ben and Emma discuss this track looking at research on issues such as hepatitis, HIV, soft tissue infection and overdose prevention from epidemiological, clinical science, social science and treatment perspectives.

They talk about how they put together a track for Lisbon Addictions, making sure the sessions fit the conference. Emma and Ben also share their experiences of Lisbon Addictions and give some advice for people attending for the first time.

“What I really like about Lisbon Addictions is that it's a really broad church, you've got lots of different tracks in the addiction field, content that wouldn't ordinarily cross my desk....and I think that kind of cross-fertilisation of ideas across the tracks is really exciting.”

Emma Day is the executive director at INHSU.

Ben Scher is an SSA funded PhD Student at Oxford University.
