INHSU 2025 program
INHSU 2025 featured over 300+ sessions on hepatitis C and other infectious diseases, harm reduction and drug policy. There were tracks on epidemiology and public health research, clinical research, social science and policy research, and good practice models of care for people who use drugs.
Rapporteur recordings
Each year, our conference concludes with rapporteur sessions, where experts summarise the key insights and takeaways from the week. These sessions offer a valuable opportunity to revisit important discussions, highlight emerging themes, and ensure that the knowledge shared at the conference continues to inspire action long after the event. Thank you to this year’s rapporteurs—it is no easy task, and we appreciate your hard work and input.
