About this Event

Sussex Place-Based PrEP Access and HIV Prevention

This event invites community stakeholders from across HIV prevention circles to surface insights, and think collectively about the future of place-based PrEP provision. The afternoon is shaped around a World Café format, participatory and discussion-based rather than presentational, we welcome you to come and contribute to our actions.

The programme will include:

  • A brief overview of activities across pilots in Brighton & Hove and West Sussex including updates on injectable PrEP
  • Short presentations on place-based and community-rooted delivery, including co-design approaches, work with people seeking asylum, refugees and migrants, progress on Women's Health Hubs and Period Pack initiative
  • Facilitated World Café discussions across three themed tables: Community Engagement & Co-Design, Education & Training, and Digital Innovation
  • A plenary playback and close, with space to identify next steps

We very much hope you can join us.
