The various types of treatment described may be provided by a range of healthcare professionals who specialise in different treatments. These could include specialist doctors such as hepatologists (liver specialists), gastroenterologists (specialists in abdominal health), paediatricians (specialists in children's health) or infectious disease specialists, as well as GPs, specialist nurses and midwives.

A member of your healthcare team should discuss chronic hepatitis B with you and explain the tests and treatments for it in detail. You should have the opportunity to ask any questions you have – there is a list of questions you might like to ask to help you with this.

Some treatments described may not be suitable for you, depending on your exact circumstances. If you think that your treatment or care does not match this advice, talk to your healthcare team.
