SSHA Conference: Bishop Stortford 2001

August 20, 2009 By SSHA

 whitehall-college-ssha-conference

This year’s conference took place at Whitehall College, Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, and again provided an excellent opportunity for health advisers to present their work, learn and discuss, meet old and new colleagues and share ideas. It included regional workshops, a revamped AGM, and a “heated debate”, as well as a very high standard of presentations, workshops and posters.

The President of MSF, Brenda Warrington, gave the opening speech, and showed great interest and encouragement in the work of SHASTD and its members within the sexual health field.

The conference highlighted the skills, experience and qualities within health advising, and helped towards a greater awareness and understanding of the health adviser role, as well as a commitment to the development of the profession.
