HepCAPP Study
If you are aged 40-64 years old, you may be invited to take part in the HepCAPP Study
Hepatitis C is a common virus that anyone can catch. It can cause severe liver disease. Some people with Hepatitis C don't know that they have it. It is easy to treat. If you take part in this study you will be offered a free Hepatitis C test.
What is involved?
You will be sent an Oral Swab home testing kit in the post. Taking the test is simple! It involves rubbing a swab along your gum line (not down your throat or up your nose). There will be instructions and a pre-paid envelope to send your sample back to us.
Why are we doing this study?
To help us find out how many people can be tested for Hepatitis C in this way and to estimate how many undiagnosed patients there are in the general population.
Do I have to take part?
No. If you would prefer not to be sent an invitation letter, please contact your GP practice.
