The Royal Society of Health (RSH) is developing a national
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) education programme to raise public
understanding about HPV in spring 2008.
Health professionals, teachers, healthy schools co-ordinators,
parents, young people, local government officers all have an
essential role to play in this public health programme in creating
a supportive educational and organizational environment for
young people to take informed action to protect themselves against
cervical cancer.
Coming soon!
A general information leaflet, fact sheet, teachers pack and
other materials will be available to download here.

Professor Richard Parish, Royal Society of Health Chief Executive
states;
"Immunisation and vaccination
provide an essential tool in improving public health. However,
success requires an investment not just in vaccine delivery,
but also in the health promotion measures necessary to create
a supportive educational and organizational environment. Education
is not an 'add-on', but a pre-requisite."
