Lauren joined the team in November 2020 as one of our Intensive Support workers who will work closely with Multi-Disciplinary Teams in key HIV clinics across Greater Manchester, assessing and addressing the needs of people living with HIV presenting at clinics.

Lauren provides intensive support to people living with HIV, who are in crisis and/or who have complex needs, to achieve and maintain good HIV health; including support around HIV treatment adherence, clinic engagement and achieving and maintaining an undetectable viral load.

Lauren secured this post due to her impressive experience of working with, and advocating on behalf of, people with a range of complex needs and experience of assessing and planning interventions. She is passionate about working within a service delivery ethos of respect, empowerment and inclusion and is committed to embracing diversity and challenging HIV stigma and discrimination.
