Conference Aim
The conference will provide a motivational learning space for a wide range of professional workers from across Scotland and beyond enabling them to ensure the HIV Action Plan, NHS QIS standards and other national sexual health policy can be implemented in ways which meet the specific sexual health needs of gay and bisexual men.
Conference Objectives
- Provide a free, two day event for 200 delegates with the opportunity to participate in workshops, seminars, presentations and plenary sessions on a range of relevant topics.
- Ensure the conference provides opportunities for those with no previous experience of gay and bisexual men’s sexual health to learn about this area of work
- Ensure that the conference is specifically applicable and relevant to those responsible for implementing the HIV Action Plan within the NHS and Local Authorities
- Engage participants in discussions on the latest international research evidence and lessons learned, encouraging them to address the challenges of applying these to the needs of gay and bisexual men in Scotland.
- Provide a forum to share promising and innovative practice and to learn from what has and what has not succeeded in Scotland and internationally.
- Identify key priorities for action in sexual health promotion and develop a clear focus for future sexual health work for gay and bisexual men in Scotland.
