LGBTQI+ Support
Our commitment to providing inclusive healthcare is exemplified through our participation in Pride in Practice, a quality assurance and social prescribing program. This initiative aids us in fortifying our connections with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (LGBT) patients. Proudly, our practice has been honoured with the Gold Pride in Practice Award by the LGBT Foundation. We persist in our efforts to cater to the unique needs of our LGBT patients, facilitating their access to services, and ensuring our entire team possesses a comprehensive awareness of their specific healthcare requirements.
To enhance our understanding of the challenges faced by LGBT communities in accessing healthcare services and address the higher prevalence of health inequalities, our staff has undergone dedicated training. Our goal is to empower our team with the knowledge and skills necessary to support LGBT patients effectively.
In alignment with our commitment to equality and diversity, we review and update our Equality and Diversity policy annually as well as our practice staff undergoing annual mandatory equality and diversity training, reinforcing our dedication to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment.
