We at LIMA are excited to launch our new logo! Which integrates the Intersex-Inclusive Pride flag (credit to @ValentinoInter).

This week we are welcoming phase 2 of LIMA - with exciting developments on the way 👀

One of our exec committee, @rachel_caxey is conducting research into the perceptions of final year medical students and foundation year doctors on transgender and gender diverse teaching in their undergraduate training and their feelings on proposed teaching objectives.

[LIMA - LGBTQ+ Inclusive Medical Education Alliance @LGBTQ_IMA]

The recent comments made by the Prime Minister and Secretary for Health and Social Care are a threat to equitable healthcare for trans and non-binary people across the UK. The proposed changes are antiquated and blatantly transphobic. They directly contradict what  LIMA stand for

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

Stay tuned for an exciting announcement ✨

[LIMA - LGBTQ+ Inclusive Medical Education Alliance @LGBTQ_IMA]

Hello all!

This week members of our team published a paper detailing their national study of the perspectives of medical students in the UK on the teaching they have received on LGBTQ+ healthcare and how this has prepared them for clinical practise.

A 🧵 on what we found!
