| All WYPS clinics display confidentiality signs which explain in what way the service is confidential & why we would break confidentiality. This encourages the client to be honest about their health & lifestyle when attending ours services. This has been identified as extremely important by different client groups, such as young people and people living with HIV and encourages them to make full use of the services due to feeling 'safe'. |

| The CNS HIV team routinely provide patients copies of letters written on their behalf.Patients have reported finding this useful when being referred to other services or accessing professionals as they feel more informed regarding the communication between professionals and this helps them feel more in control of their care |

| The CNS HIV team complete a written 'consent' section when undertaking an initial assessment with a patient listing which professionals/organisations the patient is providing consent for the CNS team to communicate with and whether they are also happy for the professionals listed to share and provide information with each other. Patients report that as explicit consent is obtained they feel their wishes are taken seriously when sharing information. This is particularly important as many have experienced stigma and discrimination due to being HIV positive |
