Your VP Welfare and Diversity, Willow Wong, gives us an introduction to her sexual health campaign, 'Let's Talk About'.
Since the STI clinic closed down on campus at the beginning of term one, students who wish to get tested are having to commute to the nearest sexual health clinics based in Slough or Bracknell which often have long waiting lists.
Until the college and the health centre work together to find a long-term solution to resume the STI clinic on campus, I’ve decided to run a one-week sexual health campaign to bring free STI testing back for students who need them.
All students, including sports clubs and societies, are encouraged to participate in the STI testing day on Monday 5 February, 11am-2pm at Tommy’s Lounge.
‘Let’s Talk About…’ campaign also proactively engages students in conversations about sexual health. Anything from common misconceptions about sex, the importance of consent and the role of pornography in our daily lives.
Over the course of the week, we’ll be publishing funny but informative articles and videos about sex/sexual health. Watch out for that on our social media!
I look forward to seeing you at these ‘Let’s Talk About…’ events:
