Sexual health
The impact of poor sexual and reproductive health is wide ranging. Unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and fertility challenges have significant physical and psychological consequences and represent an ongoing public health priority. Pharmacists play a central role in promoting good sexual and reproductive health, providing confidential advice and services such as contraception, screening, STI testing, treatment and referral.
Our collection of sexual and reproductive health content has been organised into three categories that can be accessed via the icons above or directly from the sections below.
You can also take our self-assessment quiz to test your knowledge and help identify areas of interest.
