Diagnosed with HIV in 1991, Garry has championed patient involvement and peer-delivered support since co-founding the Bloomsbury Network in 1999. Over two decades of work in the HIV voluntary sector (YMCA, THT, Positively UK and NAT), his primary focus has been to increase access to peer support locally and nationally, to reduce stigma and improve the lives and experiences of people living with HIV.
In 2023 he took up the role of Programme Manager for Transformation Partners in Health & Care, to oversee London’s Fast-Track Cities (FTC) improvement collaborative projects between the NHS and HIV voluntary sector.
Garry has served as Chair of the UK CAB (HIV treatment advocates network) and as a community representative on BHIVA, BASHH and BMA committees, the HIV CRG, London’s FTC Leadership Group and currently the NHIVNA Executive.
