  • Providing Good Care to People Living With
    National Ambulance LGBT Network Providing Good Care to People Living with HIV An Ambulance Service Resource Pack Supporting Lesbian, Gay, Tony Faraway, Alistair Gunn, Bisexual, Trans staff, Kat Smithson and Adam Williams patients and communities 25 November 2019 Copyright © NALGBTN, 2019 This resource pack has been put together with NAT Updated 2019 Resource (National AIDS Trust) Introduction We are very proud to launch a newly expanded pack which looks at the experiences of people living with HIV and how, as ambulance professionals, we can provide the best care. HIV infections amongst the LGBT community still present one of the biggest health inequalities today and you will soon discover, in the new part of this resource, that the experience of people with HIV is not always as good as it should be. Training about HIV and many other diseases is often confined to initial training programmes. For some of our colleagues this may be some considerable time ago. Times change and so the range of treatments available, along with their effectiveness. We can all help to keep people informed and also wear a red ribbon on World AIDS Day to show our support for people around the world who live with HIV. Alistair Gunn, Chair, National Ambulance LGBT Network Part 1 Report on the Survey into Patient Experience and Staff Knowledge In 2019 Adam Williams (pictured right), a Paramedic from North West Ambulance Service, and Chair of the North West Ambulance Service LGBT Network, carried out a survey of patient experiences. Having completed this Adam then surveyed ambulance staff to assess the confidence people have in dealing with people with HIV and how up-to-date their knowledge is.
