25|11 SRC SHAG Week (31st Nov – 4th Dec)
The SRC’s annual Sexual Health At Glasgow (SHAG) Week (31st Nov – 4th Dec) is now in full-swing and we have a whole host of events planned throughout the week.
The aim of the week is to promote safe sexual practice amongst students at the University of Glasgow and this year it’s going to be bigger and better than ever before. For more info check out the links below.
SHAG Week Information
Event Cancellations
- Please note that due to unforseen circumstances, the QMU Singing for Sex Karaoke Night and the Sexual Health MOT at the Barclay Medical Centre have been cancelled.
There are take-home chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing kits available to collect from the Barclay Medical Centre all week. There has been a high demand for the service so there are plans to offer it further in the year.
