Health and social care services have a duty to treat people fairly and equally. However, this report highlights some major gaps in the knowledge and training of staff relating to lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people, which is resulting in unfair treatment of both LGBT patients and colleagues.
Stonewall commissioned YouGov Plc. to carry out an in-depth survey looking into LGBT issues in health and social care settings. We asked a representative sample of 3,001 health and social care staff about their experiences of issues relating to lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans healthcare and employment. Respondents came from a range of professional backgrounds, including doctors, nurses, counsellors, carers and senior managers.
