Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes

What We Do

Psychological and emotional support

We offer a range of psychological support services. We work with community services and voluntary organisations to provide care and support.

This includes:

• short-term counselling for newly-diagnosed HIV patients and their partners
• assessment and referral to the mental health team including psychiatry and psychology services
• referral to our HIV specialist community nursing team
• referral to voluntary support organisations
• support with risk-taking behaviour including drug use and chemsex (using drugs as part of your sex life)

Financial information and practical advice

A patient representative is available for all patients for:

• advice and information about living well with HIV
• information about welfare benefits and financial help

Medicine and treatment

Our clinical nurse specialists and specialist pharmacists also support patients on anti-HIV medication (highly active antiretroviral therapy or HAART). They help make sure you take your treatment exactly as prescribed:

• at the correct time
• following any food advice

It is important that you stick to your plan. If you do not your treatment may not work.

Confidentiality

Maintaining your confidentiality is important to us. Please let us know if there are any special concerns you have about confidentiality.
