SHAG- Sexual Health Advice & Guidance Week

SHAG week is not just about condoms. It's much, much more. Today, Chlamydia is the number one STI among students and the situation must be tackled. With education we can make people more aware of their rights and responsibilities, should they chose to be sexually active

As we come to the end of S.H.A.G week, we can reflect on the importance of sexual health, relationships, feelings, consent and advice. During the campaign, there has been a whole range of events and activities which have given student advice, support, education and sign posted them to other services. But this does not stop here. There are services which are available to all students the whole year round and we want you to know the importance of seeking the advice you need. 

It’s good to talk!

There will be sexual health screening clinics around the university over the next month so if you want more information, advice or support about any topic related to sexual health, this is a perfect opportunity for you.
