Request a peer education session

The fastest way to request a peer education session is to directly contact your county peer educator coordinator on GO. You can do this by clicking ‘contact peer educator coordinator’ in the ‘my roles’ area of your GO profile.

If you can’t do this or you don’t hear back on GO, fill in the form below to help us find you a peer educator to deliver a session. We’ll pass this information on to your county peer educator coordinator who will see if there’s a peer educator available and trained in the topic you have requested in your local area and get in touch with you.

If there is no coordinator in your area, we will pass the information on to our Scottish peer educator coordinator to see if there are any peer educators who would be able to work with your unit.
