Launching Common Ambition Bristol – working with African and Caribbean heritage communities to reduce HIV stigma and infections
A major community-powered project in Bristol is set to launch an outreach programme to address HIV stigma and increase testing among people of African and Caribbean heritage. Common Ambition Bristol brings together people of African and Caribbean heritage, working in equal partnership with healthcare professionals to develop new ways of increasing HIV awareness, encourage more people to get tested and tackle the stigma associated with HIV.
Our applied health research and implementation focus on projects on mental health, public health and prevention, healthier childhoods and integrated and optimal care.
We are committed to a collaborative approach to patient and public involvement in research and the delivery of health care and services, through our partners People in Health West of England.
Our training and capacity building work promotes the development of skills in understanding, using and producing evidence for the health and social care, public health and commissioning workforce, as well as the voluntary sector.
