Webinar - Perinatal care of LGBTQ+ individuals- how can we do it better? - 29 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.
The fourth webinar in the LGBT+ series will explore the barriers in care experienced by LGBT+ individuals during preconception, pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, perinatal mental health, traumatic birth experiences and the importance of providing inclusive and respectful care to pregnant people and their families.
