SUMMARY:Getting the best from your GP (Family Doctor)
DESCRIPTION:The December edition in our series of Wellbeing Matters events which focus on the health and wellbeing matters that people with HIV – particularly people over 50 – have asked to learn more about. These are in-person events\, with an option of joining remotely by Zoom. \nThis time it’s a focus on ‘Getting the best from your GP (Family Doctor). It can be confusing and sometimes frustrating when some of our health care comes from our HIV clinic\, and some is from our GP. We’ll look at some of the challenges\, as well as opportunities\, for us as patients\, as well as for the GPs. \nWe’ll have Dr. Daniel Gibney\, the HIV GP Champion for Tower Hamlets\, plus we hope the HIV GP Champions from some of the other East London boroughs can attend.   \nFor more information\, to book a place\, or register to receive the Zoom link contact sara.boum-enock@positiveeast.org.uk \nNote: There will be some light snacks. The Zoom link will be sent out on the morning of the event\, but not before.

SUMMARY:Winter vaccines - what you need to know
DESCRIPTION:An extra Wellbeing Matters event with a focus on winter vaccines\, with Dr Tehseen Khan \nDr Tehseen Khan is a practicing GP and Clinical Advisor for the NHS Vaccination Programme \nAs winter approaches and we spend more time indoors\, we see many dangerous viruses circulating in our communities including flu and COVID-19. Getting vaccinated ahead of winter is by far your best defence. \nLiving with HIV means it may be harder for your body to fight off diseases\, so you’re more likely to get a virus like flu or COVID-19\, and more likely to develop serious health problems when you do get ill. \nFor more information contact jack.summerside@positiveeast.org.uk
