Details

This sentinel surveillance study began in 2002 with the aim of gathering information on testing for hepatitis C within sentinel laboratory services to inform local and national healthcare planning and help reduce incidence and prevalence.

It has since been expanded to cover all regions and to include hepatitis B and A. Since 2010 hepatitis D and E have been included and in 2011 HIV and HTLV testing were added.

Previous years’ reports were published by Public Health England:

• BBVs sentinel surveillance 2019
• BBVs sentinel surveillance 2018
• BBVs sentinel surveillance 2017
