A lack in the number of applications has meant that we are unable to make the conference financially viable this year, and if we did not cancel now, we would be liable for hotel charges…

SSHA are delighted to announce 2 courses that will be run later on in the year.
1. Helping people reduce sexual health risk using a Motivational Interviewing approach
2. Follow-up Motivational Interviewing for sexual risk reduction

This year’s SSHA conference will be at the Hilton Hotel Belfast from September 17th – 19th 2010.

We work within a changing NHS and in particular face daily challenges to maintain a quality, professional Sexual Health Adviser service within the current sexual health arena.

CPD is an important part of the ongoing professional agenda for all Sexual Health Advisers, and you are strongly encouraged to attend the SSHA conference this year.

This module has been designed in response to exciting developments that have raised the profile of sexual health on the political and health care agenda.

The module aims to enhance effective and innovative practice.
