The LGBT foundation is a national charity that provides a range of services and support to the LGBT community across the UK both independently and in partnership with other voluntary sector organisations, NHS trusts and primary care services. NHS GM commissions the Pride in Practice support programme for GM primary care services.
The LGBT Foundation have recently released their 2024 pride in practice patient survey. This survey aims to capture data on patient experiences in primary care, be that at GP practices, Dental practices, Pharmacies or Optometry services.
The responses to this survey will be used to support the LGBT Foundation in improving awareness of the experiences LGBTQ+ patients have when using primary care services. The data that is collected may then be used during training provided by the Pride in Practice team to primary care services, in our written reports and through promotion of the ongoing need to improve service provision for LGBTQ+ patients in primary care. Any data shared by the LGBT Foundation for these purposes will be anonymised.
The survey can be found here and more information about Pride in Practice can be found here.
