Since 2010, Pride in Practice have been supporting primary care services in Greater Manchester to improve their confidence in working with LGBTQ+ communities through understanding inclusive language, the historical context of LGBTQ+ wxclusion from the healthcare environment and the barriers to access that we can address as primary care providers. Their General Practice teams play an important and positive role in making primary care a more welcoming place!

The language we use is crucial in developing positive relationships. The words you use – and the way you use them – can provide room for your patients to share important information, signal respect for your patients’ identities, and help them feel more comfortable with presenting for healthcare support. contribute to a culture of inclusion. This, in turn, can support LGBTQ+ patients to access timely and appropriate care.

We’ll define some key LGBTQ+ terms that you’re likely to come across in your work.
