The Association serves as a forum in which members can discuss matters relevant to the provision, quality and effective management of student health care, and it provides the opportunity to share ideas, discuss issues of common interest, and communicate best clinical practise relative to student health care

Conference 2012 in York is now a happy memory. A a great time was had by all, with superb speakers and excellent social events - see our Conference page for more information including links to speaker's presentations. Conference 2012 was also our re-launch, from the British Association of Student Health Services in Higher Education (BAHSHE) to The Student Health Association (SHA)

Plans are now confirmed for Conference 2013 in Loughborough, and underway for Conference 2014 in Bristol. See our Conference page for Loughborough's programme and a link to our conference booking site
