Abstract:

The development of a sexual health promotion campaign aimed at the over 50s in Manchester is described. The main partners involved were the Sexual Health and Harm Reduction team within Manchester Public Health Development Service and the Valuing Older People team within the Manchester Joint Health Unit. Following a series of focus groups and interviews, it was decided to produce a paper guide on sexual health which contained a series of health messages and positive images of people over 50. This guide was launched in October 2009 and drew a lot of press and media interest, which has stimulated a great deal of interest and debate. The article concludes that the project has had a significant impact on sexual health promotion work with the over 50s at both a local and national level.
