Funding opportunity: Re-engaging Londoner’s living with HIV back into care

The Fast-Track Cities London Leadership Group is offering funding to cover one to two integrated care board (ICB) areas in London to deliver a coordinated programme of work designed to re-engage Londoner’s living with HIV back into care, on their medication and with an improved quality of life. The total grant pot is £450,000 for year one. There will be funding for years 2 and 3 dependent on agreed outcomes.

The partnership must show how they can achieve the following objectives:

1. Trace and contact people living with HIV and not in care.
2. Provide personalised support to people living with HIV to enable them to reprioritise their HIV care.
3. Re-engage people with HIV who have been lost to care, back into clinical care and treatment.
4. Improve quality of life for people living with HIV alongside re-engagement support.

The model of delivering this work should include the following aspects:

1. Cleaning the data provided by UKHSA to remove people who are in care elsewhere, out of the country or deceased.
2. Tracing and contacting people who remain on the list.
3. Providing a referral pathway for people identified via the opt out testing in emergency departments programme.
4. Providing appropriate support to meet the specific needs of individuals to improve the quality of their life and re-engage them with care, whether in-clinic or via remote access.
5. A fund to provide practical support such as help with travel expenses, emergency food and childcare.
6. A ‘learn and share’ approach to working with re-engagement leads across the city to shape and inform future service provision

To be successful, the consortium should include:

1. HIV clinics (NHS Trusts) and staff, both in-clinic and outreach roles.
2. Other NHS partners specialising in inclusion health or track and trace activities, for example NHS Find and Treat.
3. Voluntary and community organisations to deliver peer support and to tackle identified barriers to re-engagement (such as stigma, mental health, drug/alcohol use, housing, poverty and immigration).
