ALT Can you help us improve healthcare for older people living with HIV? As people living with HIV (PLWH) get older, they face different challenges and healthcare needs. We are researchers from the University of Bristol exploring what the healthcare needs of PLWH over 50 healthcare are and how healthcare services can better support them. We are looking for healthcare professionals from HIV clinics and general practice to talk about health and care for PLWH as they get older and what they need from healthcare services. We are looking for healthcare professionals who practice in Bristol, Sheffield or Brighton who can take part in online focus group discussions
