  • Summary

  • Dr. Naomi Sutton is joined by Professor Jane Anderson to talk about Fast-Track Cities and their role in Getting to Zero, particularly in maximising the collaboration between funding bodies such as local government, existing health and care services, patient advocacy groups and charities to design and deliver interventions tailored to local populations. Jane takes Naomi and listeners through the history and accomplishments of Fast-Track Cities, and how to implement the principles of Fast-Track Cities and partnership working even if you don’t live in a city.
    " Cities are places that have got huge populations. HIV is often an urban problem. And importantly, cities have got power over their health economies, over the lives of their citizens that can be used to really good effect, to ensure that cities fast-track their HIV responses "
    " People living with HIV are experiencing stigma and discrimination in their lives, and in particular, in some healthcare settings. And we know that internalised stigma is a real problem. So, without addressing that, we're not going to get to zero "
    " We are in a health and care system that's quite split and quite divided. So we need to make sure that we are together, and we also need to make sure that people living with HIV are front and centre of every initiative "
