SAS Group
This is an all-inclusive group for Staff Grade, Specialty, Associate Specialist & Specialist doctors, as well as Locally Employed doctors and General Practitioners, providing they work in sexual health or HIV.
Its purpose is:
- To represent the professional interests of SAS doctors working in sexual health and HIV.
- To advise on, and offer support and advice on training/ education to members.
- To run educational conferences for SAS doctors
- To represent SAS doctors on other BASHH committees
Although hosted by, and supported by BASHH, it is not necessary to be a BASHH member to access these web pages, or to be part of this group. There is no subscription. Agreement to one’s details being held on the SAS database constitutes membership. We do however strongly recommend that all doctors working in sexual health are members of BASHH; reduced subscriptions are available for SAS doctors. All Committee members must be BASHH members
On these pages are links to documents that may be of interest to SAS doctors, the names of some of the current SAS Committee and details of the Annual BASHH Conference for SAS Doctors Working in Sexual Health.
