Pride in Practice
We know that many LGBT people worry about accessing services for fear of experiencing discrimination or even hostility on the grounds of their sexual orientation, gender identity and/or trans status.
LGBT Foundation would like to hear from you about your experiences of healthcare services.
You can contact LGBT Foundation in confidence on our helpline number 0345 3 30 30 30 or contact Pride in Practice Programme at [email protected].
Pride in Practice is a programme to ensure that all LGBT people have access to GP practices, Dental Practices, Pharmacies, and Optometry Outlets that are LGBT inclusive.
