BASHH are pleased to share a second series of masterclasses for BASHH Fellow Members in 2026-27. These are focused on supporting BASHH Fellows to navigate and respond strategically to some of the challenges they are facing as senior leaders in their sexual health services.
This event will look at the the leadership aspects of implementing digital technologies. Topics include implementing a new EPR system, and the development of Brighton's innovative PrEP EmERGE app. Our speakers will discuss overcoming challenges, developing community pathways, introducing new SOPs or governance arrangements, and bringing the wider team on board.
Further Fellow Masterclasses will run on 12th January and 23rd February.
This event will be recorded and available to watch shortly afterwards for those unable to attend live
