A new website was released in the Lancashire area which coincided with World Aids Day this year. It"s set to provide easily accessible resources and information regarding sexual health in the area, hopefully helping to protect the community from the negative side of sex.
The website has been set up by the Lancashire Care NHS Trust"s Contraception and Sexual Health (CaSH) Service as a bank of information with important data regarding sexual health and tips towards maintaining it. This information includes advice on screening, advice on safe sex and educational services.
The site will work as a central hub for sexual heath within Lancashire. Should you wish to get checked or want to see a doctor regarding something, you"ll find a map in which you input your post code and find a clinic close to you!
The CaSH website has had a new brand created for them by Blackburn College design students and will be easily recognisable. Along with this, a QR code for people who have and use smart phones has been been implemented.
The overbearing hope for the website is the creation of a positive relationship between the population and sexual health. What is now taboo and sometimes hard to talk about shouldn"t be so and it"s through the efforts of the CaSH Service and others like them that these old-fashioned taboo"s are being lifted.
Over the next year or two the website will be monitored along with the counties sexual health. It"s hoped
that it"ll have a positive impact but only time will tell. Fingers cross for Lancashire!
