The inaugural Australasian Sexual and Reproductive Health Day is an exciting opportunity to hear leaders in sexual and reproductive health discuss securing the future of reproductive health and rights. The day will explore leadership, technology, workforce, community and civil society and their role in achieving universal access to contraception, abortion and preventing reproductive coercion.
The day covers four sessions:
- Session 1: Cutting Edge Technology for Reproductive Health
- Session 2: Forward-thinking High-level Leadership for Reproductive Health
- Session 3: A Future Ready Reproductive Health Workforce
- Session 4: A Future Vision for Community and Civil Society Engagement
The conference will include short presentations from national and international experts who will provide a vision for the future of reproductive health. This will be followed by plenaries and debates with key stakeholders who will explore the merits of these insights for policy and practice in Australian and New Zealand contexts.
This is a great opportunity for professional development and networking across disciplines, with view to encouraging a broader engagement across research, clinical management, prevention, to ensure best practice and policy.
