Pride in Practice works to improve the experiences of LGBTQ+ people accessing primary care services

For excellence in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans healthcare.

“I’ve received good care as a transgender woman from the GP practice, without feeling patronised”

Pride in Practice works to improve the experiences of LGBTQ+ people accessing primary care services.  

Whether you’re visiting a GP, dentist, pharmacist, or optometrist, you deserve a service where you feel safe, accepted, seen, and supported by the healthcare professionals who provide your care.

“The more I discuss my sexual orientation the more I realise it is helpful not just to me, but to the health professional too.”

Established in Manchester in 2010, the Pride in Practice team has worked with over 900 primary care services across the UK, presenting more than 400 accredited awards recognising excellence in LGBTQ+ healthcare.  

The Pride in Practice team is able to share information, signposting, and resources with both patients and registered practices. For more information email pip@lgbt.foundation.

Our Patient Experience Survey

Since 2014, LGBT Foundation has carried out a series of surveys analysing the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans people (LGBTQ+) accessing primary healthcare.

Our most recent survey, launched in June 2022, received 335 valid responses from members of our communities and has added an extra level of insight and detail to experiences collected in previous years.
