March letter

Dear Friends,



Here is our latest newsletter with lots of activities - March is a busy month.

Recent developments here include:

Works have started on the ground floor and from Mid March onwards we will occupy all three floors at Waterloo Place. This will provide us with more opportunities to deliver services that accommodate your needs. We will be organising a grand opening and you will be invited!!

Lisa Ross, our new clinical nurse has started working at THT, offering testing every Tuesday from 5-7pm. Free, anonymous and confidential testing of HIV, HepB, HepC and HepB vaccination are provided. With Lisa Ross we are also looking into broadening our clinical services. We will keep you posted.

We are delighted to announce the start of an LGBT social group in Lochaber. The first meeting will be on 19th March – see the programme and poster for full details.

Last but not least, THT in collaboration with the liver disease department at Raigmore hospital are starting a new support group for people who are HepC+, whether or not they have already started treatment. We like to offer people the opportunity to meet other people with the same long term health condition so that ideas can be exchanged, peer support becomes available, information can be given and new friends can be made. The first meeting is taking place on Wednesday 18 March from 6.30-8pm at 34 Waterloo Place, Inverness

I hope you enjoy the newsletter and I look forward to welcoming you at one of our activities.

Best wishes
