📆 Brook Charity's Sexual Health Week will run from 15 – 21 September

Theme: Chronically Online 📱

For many of us, digital technology has become a familiar part of how we navigate relationships and manage our wellbeing. Apps are often the default when it comes to dating, and when we need an STI test, we’re just as likely to go online as we are to visit a clinic.

From deepfakes to dating apps and algorithms to AI, this week explores how being online is influencing attitudes and behaviours around s*x, relationships and s*xual health.

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 is an annual reminder of the importance of early recognition of this dangerous condition. Sepsis happens when the body attacks itself following an infection. It may lead to shock, multi-organ failure and death, so it’s vital to pick it up quickly.

Knowing the signs can help early intervention and a greater chance of survival. Symptoms can vary, and can be particularly difficult to spot in babies and children.

If you’re ever worried, ask your doctor “𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀?”
