Hello All
In Canada a healthcare worker has the right to practise even if they have hepatitis B. (I follow several patients living with hepatitis B who are successful nurses and physicians). There may be some variation between different provinces on monitoring viral load (HBV DNA) and providing letters from your physician for reporting to the Physician or Nursing licensing body. Some surgeons may also need to adjust their practise for performing certain procedures. In Alberta where I practise, I do not need to provide any documentation.
