There is still time to book a FREE place at the Health Wealth and Happiness DAY, which is an opportunity for people aged 50 and over living with HIV to find out more about HIV and ageing.
The day will be split into two halves. In the morning there will be three speakers who are all experts in the field of HIV and ageing.
Dr Tom Levett will be talking about what it means to age successfully with HIV, Dr Jonathan Underwood will be talking about research currently taking place to investigate fully the implications of ageing with HIV, and Dr Jaime Vera who will be talking about how services locally are gearing up to deal with a growing population of people ageing with HIV.
In the afternoon there are three workshops that will run twice so everyone gets the chance to go to two of them.
Tim Proctor from Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) will be giving an overview of all the changes that are coming in regarding benefits; Jason Warriner from The Sussex Beacon will be talking about the changes they are making to the services they offer and there will be a workshop on mindfulness.
Peer Action, the HIV peer support group will be providing FREE therapies for those attending the event and lunch and refreshments will be provided by Lunch Positive, the HIV lunch club.
Registration opens at 9.15am and the conference will be finished by 3.30pm.
This is the first time THT have run an event of this kind where people living with HIV are given the chance to listen to experts in the field.
