Having your say on Birmingham's sexual health services

Birmingham City Council would like your views on sexual health services. They are responsible for making sure that effective services are available for the people in Birmingham and would really value your thoughts on what works well and where they could make things better. They are carrying out a review at the moment and your comments will help them decide how to improve things. You do not need to have used sexual health services to do this.

The online consultation runs until 9 December, and you can find out more, and complete the online survey, at https://www.birminghambeheard.org.uk/adults-communities/sexual-health-consultation

Please note: the information you provide will be kept confidential and used only for the purposes of reviewing sexual health services.

New opportunity for young people to meet employers...

The Pump is at 286 Kitts Green Road, Kitts Green, B33 9SB
