Grant award of HIV opt-out testing in emergency departments (ED) community funding to Brigstowe
13/03/2025 - Grant award of HIV opt-out testing in emergency departments (ED) community funding to Brigstowe
The decision is for BCC to accept the funding
that has been made available by NHS England for HIV community
services to support those diagnosed with HIV at Bristol Royal
Infirmary, Southmead Hospital and Weston General Hospital while
participating in a national pilot to provide opt-out HIV testing to
people attending ED. The funding for the pilot as a whole is being
given to BNSSG ICB via a signed memorandum of understanding (MOU)
between NHS England and BNSSG ICB. The community support funding
will be given to BCC via a signed Section 256 MOU with the ICB. BCC
will then award grant funding to Brigstowe for the HIV community
support services.
