Training for groups outside of BPNW

Our years of experience in dealing with the effects of HIV has provided us with the opportunity to work closely with health and social care professionals in the development of education and training for professionals and workers to address the many issues surrounding HIV .

We offer customised training and support, specified to meet the needs of your organisation. We use interactive methods, drawing on our in-depth experience, to demonstrate how hiv awareness should be applied in everyday practice.

Our experienced staff and volunteers provide tailed training around HIV in a variety of contexts, reaching from national and international HIV conferences to presentations and workshops for schools and the National Union of Students. bpnw has also developed training programmes for housing associations, social services and medical students for many years.

All of our training courses are specifically designed to incorporate elements of personal development and professional development, to both address the issues raised and provide skills and practical strategies for the workplace.

Our training is participatory, working with the experience that both the facilitators and the group members bring to a training environment that is both safe and supportive.
