Speakers and workshops
i-Base can provide speakers on any aspect of HIV treatment.
This has included working with over 50 support groups in the UK. We have also run workshops with HIV-positive organisations in South Africa, India, Taiwan, Russia, Serbia and Turkey.
The format of single workshops can range from an open ‘question and answer’ workshop, to specialised training on any treatment subject to HIV conference updates. We always suggest other speakers if we can’t cover a topic ourselves.
We also run treatment training courses in more detail. These can be held during the day or in the evening and usually include 4-8 sessions, usually every week or fortnight.
This is to enable existing organisations (including Positively Women and Body & Soul) to strengthen treatment expertise.
Although we have always worked closely with many African support groups, we now have a specific outreach programme that we developed after a pilot research project that we initiated showed that there is a strong demand for this work. See Assessing the treatment information needs of Africans living with HIV.
Workshop charges
Whenever possible, i-Base accept all invitations to speak, and never turn down a request to talk based on ability to pay. Workshop charges generally depend on the funding status of the organisation. For organisations outside London we ask for travel costs.
If you would like to arrange a speaker or workshop please contact the i-Base office.
