Joint BASHH & CoSRH Conference 2026
From Protection to Prevention: Shaping the Future of Sexual Health
Today, the focus on sexual and reproductive healthcare has never been more critical. With ongoing challenges such as rising rates of sexually transmitted infections, the need for effective and equitable contraceptive care, and increasing pressure on NHS services and budgets, the landscape of sexual and reproductive health across the UK is becoming ever more complex.
The College of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (CoSRH) and the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) are coming together to explore how we can strengthen prevention at every level of care, from clinical innovation to integrated service delivery. The joint conference will highlight improving early diagnosis and access to care, to embedding integration and innovation across services.
This joint conference will bring together clinicians to share evidence, showcase innovation, and strengthen collaboration across sexual and reproductive healthcare. By focusing on prevention in practice, we can drive progress, improve outcomes, and advance sexual health for all.
