Dr Rupert Whitaker announced as new Honorary Fellow
It is with great pleasure we announce Dr Rupert Whitaker of the Tuke Institute as a new Honorary Fellow to the Centre. We look forward to working with him in the future and welcome him to the Centre and History wholeheartedly.
Rupert is the founder and chairman of the Tuke Institute. For almost 30 years, he has worked in the fields of medicine and community advocacy with a keen focus on empowering individuals to care for their own health. Following the death of his partner Terry Higgins from AIDS in 1982, he co-founded the Terrence Higgins Trust
—now Europe’s leading HIV and sexual health charity—and helped establish the prevention, mental health, and peer-led social services there. He has been a leading civil advocate for people with HIV and chronic illness, appearing on television and in the news-media with his expertise and personal experiences since the early 1980s.
