HIV care: a team effort

Welcome, everyone, to the second National HIV Nursing Journal Supplement. It is a privilege to be involved in this exciting edition.

I am constantly inspired by the stories I hear of high-quality, compassionate care being delivered to patients living with HIV. I have been struck countless times by the dedication and commitment HIV nurses have shown over the past few years, despite such challenging times, both in my role as the chair of National HIV Nurses Association (NHIVNA) and as clinical services manager to the HIV community specialist service in Sussex. It really is a privilege to support nurses to deliver high-quality HIV treatment and care.

This month we will be holding our face-to-face NHIVNA conference in Cardiff. I am looking forward to seeing as many of you there as possible. This is an opportunity for you both to learn and to connect with colleagues across the UK.

In this supplement we have some very current, relevant and informative articles by inspiring authors who have worked in the HIV field for many years.
