Project ECHO® Liverpool Hospital
Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes
Project ECHO clinic can support you to screen, manage, and treat your chronic liver disease and Viral hepatitis B & C patients.
Who is Project ECHO® for?
Project ECHO® is for primary health care providers – including: Doctors, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, and Community Health Workers who want to treat some of their own patients. The goal of Project ECHO® is to improve patient access to specialty care, without them having to attend the specialist centre. This enables patient focused care in a location convenient to them, and with a practitioner they know and trust. By participating in Project ECHO®, PHCP can provide the best possible care for their patients and develop a professional skill set.
Project ECHO® provides:
- Greater access to multidisciplinary advice about your patients,
- Opportunity to acquire new skills and competencies, and accrue CME points.
Please read A/Prof Miriam Levy’s invitation letter for more information on Project ECHO®.
