Course in teenage sexual health

Abstract

I would like to thank Teresa Metcalfe for her article on teenagers’ sexual health needs (art&science July 28). I am a lecturer in sexual health at Thames Valley University and have also identified the gap she refers to in her article. My colleague and I have responded by developing a post-registration module that relates specifically to young people’s sexuality, sexual health and education needs. The Certificate of Personal and Professional Development in Teenage Sexuality and Sexual Health aims to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to deliver informed sexual health advice to this group.
