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+. Pride in Practice works with GP & dental teams to ensure all LGBT people have access to inclusive healthcare. The team at North Chelmsford Healthcare Centre achieved a Gold Pride in Practice Award last year and all staff have received training and have access to resources to help them understand the important issues that LGBT+ patients face, and how we can help within the NHS.
