International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and BiPhobia

International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and BiPhobia

17 May is International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and BiPhobia. One in four LGBT+ people have witnessed discrimination against LGBT+ people by healthcare staff. One in seven LGBT+ people have avoided care for fear of discrimination because they are LGBT+. The practice has access to resources provided by Pride in Practice to enable GP teams to ensure all LGBT people have access to inclusive healthcare. This helps all members of the general practice team to understand the important issues that LGBT+ patients face, and how we can help within the NHS.
