Having worked for specsavers for almost 7 years until last year and filled in many of these forms, this wouldn't have even have been something I'd have thought to be an issue myself. The fact that they turned you away is disgusting and disrespectful

If you want to go, there’s just one more day of viewing (Monday 16th). Bring tissues.

Yes. All ongoing. Hope it doesn’t take too long to review guidelines. 😑

Grow up. Gay people are hanged publicly for being gay under Khomeini and you’re coming here with this. Piss off.

No I won’t actually. If you are fine with gay people being killed for existing, then you can quite simply, get fucked.

Goodness me, what a terribly glib comment. The Iranian regime is repressive and evil. Let them both fall.

I didn’t even get that far. Was doing a-levels and expected to do well, but couldn’t sit still and was off after a few months. Wanted to be free and explore. Going to a strict catholic school probs did that to me, literally counted down the days till it was all over…

How are other companies operating? Are clinicians erring on the side of caution because they’re not equipped with specific enough advice and confident to do the procedure thus breaching the equality act? Thankfully, National AIDS Trust is on the case there! 💪

While this is welcome news from Specsavers (that I’m determined to see through) it’s only one part of the story because the BSA (British Society of Audiology) guidelines around HIV are far too vague.

I’m pleased to say that, as a result of this, Specsavers have agreed to review and change their guidelines with relation to HIV+ people and audiology treatments. I will be working closely with them to ensure that change does happen and HIV+ people do not face discrimination in the future.

I’m grateful that an apology was offered straightaway for this negligence, and that I was given time to articulate my concerns.
I feel reassured that Specsavers are listening and taking the matter seriously.

Not beholden to sponsors or corporations. Ofc that means limited funds, but it’s what you make of it.

Thanks. They’ve come back to me on Twitter now.

Hi, @specsaversuk.bsky.social time to update your ‘procedures’. Nothing against the person who saw me tho who was deeply apologetic and just following ‘guidelines’.
