The morning will be a mix of presentations and workshops.
The presentations aim to provide participants with a clear picture of what initiatives are on the horizon for Sexual Health and a clear map of the work that is already in place, including an overview of current frameworks to support practice.
Gateshead Centre for Enabling Health Improvement (CEHI) will be consulting on methods to support “making every contact a health improving contact utilizing the CEHI online resource available at www.gatesheadgrid.org/cehi
Workshops will support practitioners to recognize the skills they already have with their client group and look at simple ways of integrating sexual health into the conversations and interactions we have with service users.
There will be opportunities for action planning and structured networking with colleagues from your discipline and other areas.
