Hide AdChrissy Davis, who runs the Hep C Nomads online forum, said: "The website will be a useful resource for people to source hepatitis C information.
"It's interactive, engaging and includes easy-to-access downloadable materials.
"The website is well laid out and it's good to see information for carers as well as patients."
In addition, groups came together in the Grassmarket yesterday to celebrate the awareness day in an event put on by the Hepatitis C Trust.
