 AB    The Kirketon Road Centre (KRC) is a primary health care (PHC) facility
       of Sydney Hospital located in Kings Cross, involved in the prevention,
       treatment and care of HIV/AIDS and transmissible infections among at
       risk youth, sex workers and injecting drug users. Nurses have practised
       within a multi-disciplinary team at KRC since 1987 and throughout this
       period, the role has developed and expanded to meet the ongoing needs of
       the target populations. Nurses provide clinic based services and also
       staff the AIDS bus, an outreach program to street sex workers. The role
       of the nurse practitioner is currently undergoing evaluation in order to
       determine whether it is appropriate.
