He had worked with MSF in South Sudan, Rwanda and Liberia, with Aboriginal health services in Yalata, with the AHPRA nursing board, and in Adelaide metropolitan hospitals \u2013 always meeting new challenges, learning new skills and engaging with new communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that, it says a lot that work as a <a href=\"https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/2017\/05\/jewel-of-south-australian-viral-hepatitis-services\/\">Viral Hepatitis Nurse<\/a> had provided enough challenges, lessons and colour to hold Jeff for 15 years. Sadly, that came to an end in December as he said goodbye to the hepatitis sector and moved to a new role with Aboriginal health services at Noarlunga and Clovelly Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is still so much to do in hepatitis, plenty of exciting and important work\u2026 but I have done this job for 15 years \u2013 it\u2019s time to do something different\u2026 learn some new skills.&nbsp; I know if I stay on, I\u2019d become stuck, too comfortable to try something new,\u201d he said in a farewell conversation with <em>Hepatitis SA Community News<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWorking in viral hepatitis has been an interesting and varied experience. I have learnt a lot\u2026 clinical knowledge and skills, project management, running screening clinics, learning how to collaborate with other organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8230; I look forward to watching as you continue to eliminate hepatitis C, and engage more and more people with hepatitis B in care<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s sad to leave. I will really miss the people, especially the clients who are such a colourful, interesting lot with so much resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new treatments for hepatitis C became available some six years after Jeff started as a viral hepatitis nurse, changing the goal of hepatitis C treatment from management to cure. \u201cIt changed things completely\u2026 from helping people live with and manage their hep C, our focus became finding people who had become lost to the system, and supporting them to get cured,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The change in hepatitis C services was further accelerated when reliable rapid finger prick diagnostic testing was introduced a few years later. And when an innovative peer worker in Hepatitis SA worked out ways to bring testing to the community, Jeff was there providing the support and clinical backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
