#NHSvday safe sex Twitter campaign

Following on from last year's campaign, we composed some more Twitter poems to highlight the importance of looking after your sexual health. In order to spread the sexual health message, we've encouraged other NHS and health organisations to join in using the #NHSvday hashtag so that we can monitor effectiveness.

We've now evaluated the success and reach of the campaign and this is available for you to download below. The #NHSvday tweets we ran are compiled at the bottom of the page. Please let us know if you've any feedback.

Sex & love is wonderful
Relationships are great
But don’t forget to have safe sex
Even with your soulmate
#NHSvday

Pubic lice
Not very nice
Nor are genital warts
If you’ve met someone new
Can you tell what’s in their shorts?
#NHSvday

Patch, condom, IUD, mini pill, cap, vasectomy, implant, injection, IUS. Contraceptive options? Find out what’s best www.bash.nhs.uk #NHSvday

Planning something for the weekend?
BASH can recommend
All the protection you need
To make your weekend succeed
www.bash.nhs.uk
#NHSvday

Updated your status to single?
Planning to go out & mingle?
If u have sex with someone new,
make sure that safe sex is what you do
#NHSvday

Think of poor Bob aged 58.
Even at his age, sex was great.
But he didn’t like to use protection,
and now he can’t get an erection
#NHSvday

#Chlamydia: have u taken the test
2 make sure ur mind is at rest?
U might have it but not know
As sometimes symptoms don’t even show
#NHSvday

Sleeping around may seem good style
But you could end up on Jeremy Kyle
#NHSvday

Safe sex: more than just the Pill
It won’t protect u from getting ill
With syphilis, gonorrhoea or even HIV
Get a condom, not an STD
#NHSvday

If you’re ready for sex
Then you’re ready to talk
about what available contraception
to use for your protection
#NHSvday

There was a young man from Wyke
& lots of sex he did like
But it was unprotected     
& he got infected
Ouch - the sex bugs did strike
#NHSvday

Poor Bob aged 44
Thought protection didn’t matter any more
Thought he was 2 old for an STI
Now has a rash which makes him cry
#NHSvday

Roses are red, violets are blue.
Don’t go unprotected, or the sex bugs may get you!
#NHSvday

Choose well poems

With winter here, we wrote some poems for Twitter highlighting the importance of choosing the right NHS treatment for your symptoms. It's important for people to choose the most appropriate treatment for their illness so that A&E is only used by those who need it.

We have shared these messages with other NHS and health organisations. Please feel free to retweet these messages to spread the word about choosing well.

Headache, cold, cough & snot?
Feeling rough & a bit grot?
Call in at your local #pharmacy.
For good advice and sympathy! #choosewell

If u've grazed ur knee, don't head str8 for casualty.
Go along & get a plaster on,
you'll feel better before today's gone #choosewell

You wouldn’t believe it #epicfail.
She called 999 for a broken nail.
Time wasted that was really needed,
for pple truly impeded #choosewell

There ws a young man from Devon,
whose face did really redden.
He'd gone to A & E,
when he should have rung 0845 4647 #choosewell 

Ear pain that won’t go away?
Leave A&E well at bay.
Make the right choice, see ur GP
& leave casualty for the needy #choosewell

Too much beer & dodgy kebab,
making you feel very bad?
Don’t go to casualty,
it’s the pharmacist you must see #choosewell

Thr 1ce ws a lady called Pippa,
who liked 2 wear a big slippa.
It kpt her toes warm thro winter’s gr8 storm,
so she stayed v chippa #choosewell

The colour coded chart below will help you choose the right care.
