Webinar - Understanding the health needs of LGBT+ people- 07 June
About this event
Throughout Pride month, Public Health England Yorkshire and Humber Centre are hosting a series of webinars which will explore the disproportionately poorer health outcomes experienced by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT+) people across the life course.
These webinars will provide an opportunity to showcase best practice and foster new ways of working to address and improve LGBT+ health inequalities throughout the region.
These events are open to professionals from across the health, social care and VCSE sectors with a responsibility for addressing LGBT+ health inequalities, including Local Authorities, primary care services, policy makers, commissioners and NHS trusts.
LGBT+ people report disproportionately poorer health outcomes than the general population and worse experiences of healthcare. This opening webinar will explore the early beginnings of LGBT+ health inequalities and highlight what is being done across the healthcare system to improve LGBT+ health.
Speakers
Professor Julie Fish, Director, Centre for LGBTQ Research & Professor in Social Work & Health Inequalities, De Montfort University
Dr Michael Brady, National Advisor for LGBT Health, NHS England and NHS Improvement & Sexual Health and HIV Consultant at King's College Hospital
