UK #LGBTQ+ folx, I am writing proposal for a session at next year's annual GP conference. I want to launch our LGBTQ+ Special Interest Group at the same time.

What should we include in the session (could be interactive)?
eg how to make general practices LGBTQ friendly?

PS The aim is improving the care and experiences of LGBTQ+ patients AND colleagues in general practice.

Hi. Person of Chinese heritage here. It's racist. Stop giving excuses.

Walked out of a session today.
As academics, we're in a privileged position. We need to use this to highlight those who are undeserved, without a voice, oppressed by the system, & face intersectional stigma.
