FEW1473 - HIV Community Peer Support Service
Authority: Leicester City Council (Local council)
Re-procurement plannedSCE0060 - Community Led Family Support Services · tender expected
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe provision of this service will involve one to one support from people with lived experience of HIV for those newly diagnosed through the hospital ED. The support will be person centred and therefore take a different form for every individual, but broadly, it will help people to feel empowered to understand and take ownership of their diagnosis, engage and remain in treatment and tackle stigma. National HIV treatment guidelines recommend a peer support model as the gold standard for those living with HIV.
The service will be funded by national funding from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and NHS England via the Integrated Care Board for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

Conflicts of interest identified among the Public Health Consultant, Lead Commissioner, Contract Manager and other evaluators: 0. No conflicts or potential conflicts have been declared. The relative importance of the key criteria were based on the relevant criteria and principles outlined in the national standards laid out by the British HIV association and the national standards for Peer Support by AIDs UK. Including: The LLR HIV Peer Support Service would adhere to the overarching principles of care set out in the BHIVA standards of care document. These are: 1. People living with HIV should be at the centre of their own care, and have meaningful involvement in the development and delivery of services. 2. There must be equality of access and equity of provision of health and social care regardless of age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, health literacy, residency or immigration status. HIV is a stigmatised and socially complex diagnosis that disproportionately affects more marginalised groups. Therefore it is vital that all those living with HIV are provided with equitable and non-discriminatory care 3. All patient related information whether clinical, pseudo-anonymised or anonymised must be held securely and confidentially in accordance with information governance standards and legislation. People living with HIV should expect that only data necessary for surveillance, designing or monitoring of care will be collected. In addition, the concept of equity and ability to create a service suitable for people of all gender identities, ethnicities and sexualities was vital and Trade are experienced at this.
