Sexpression:UK: the university students delivering sex and relationships education to schools

When you first enter medical school, it can be difficult to envision yourself having the confidence and knowledge to give people advice about their health. On the wards you can feel like a spare part, trying to learn and keep out of everyone’s way as they go about their tasks. Some student organisations aim to empower university students to gain experience in communicating health information outside of the medical setting, where students can develop skills that will be useful to them in their careers. One such organisation is Sexpression:UK, a charity that trains university students to provide secondary school students with free, comprehensive relationships and sex education (RSE).
