SSHA
Web: www.ssha.info
SSHA (the Society of Sexual Health Advisers) is a UK national organisation with approximately 300 members out of an estimated 350 sexual health advisers in the country. It provides an opportunity for members to meet and work towards further professional development.
The role of the sexual health adviser varies enormously from clinic to clinic. It involves working with individuals and groups affected by issues related to sexual health in general and sexually transmitted infections (including HIV) in particular. Their role will commonly embrace the following features:
- Partner notification/contact tracing
- Sexual health promotion
- Teaching/training
- Counselling
- Research and audit
The public section of their website provides:
- Information on sexually transmitted infections & related conditions
- Sources of help and support
- Resources for health professionals
The authors and editors of this article are employed to create accurate and up to date content reflecting reliable research evidence, guidance and best clinical practice. They are free from any commercial conflicts of interest. Find out more about updating.
