Pride Month

Pride Month in June celebrates LGBTQIA+ rights, acceptance, equality, and contributions, while raising awareness of ongoing issues.

Last year, MPHN commissioned an LGBTQIA+ Health Needs Assessment, shedding light on the challenges faced by this community in accessing healthcare.

As primary healthcare providers, there are simple steps you can take to create a welcoming space, such as displaying a Welcome Here sign in your reception and waiting area.

Consider exploring the online course Becoming more LGBTQIA+ friendly in your practice. This 1-hour CPD activity empowers GPs to provide holistic and patient-centered healthcare for LGBTQIA+ people.
