Women's Sexual Health - Let's Start the Conversation

Are you a professional working with women and those with a vulva and vagina in a community setting in Derby City or Derbyshire? Join us on Wednesday, 16 October or Thursday, 17 October 2024 for a focused event on women’s sexual health, following the launch of the Women’s Health Strategy for England.

This event will explore how the strategy addresses disparities in healthcare services, including contraception and access to sexual health services for marginalised communities.

Event highlights:

  • Fumble UK will lead a session on supporting trans youth, having sexual health conversations, and addressing barriers like cervical screening.

  • Kerry from the Sex Ed Book Club will discuss “Losing It” by Sophia Smith Galer, covering themes such as virginity, healthy relationships, and societal myths around sex.

This event is aimed at professionals and will provide valuable insights and resources to help improve sexual health services in our local communities. If you would like to attend, please register using one of the links below:

Wednesday October 16 - 9am - 1pm - Technique Stadium (Chesterfield Football Club) - Derbyshire

Thursday October 17 - 9am - 1pm - The Derby Conference Centre - Derby
