NHS North West and the Lesbian and Gay Foundation (LGF) are launching a Pride in Practice benchmarking tool for GP surgeries in the North West to help promote excellence in LGB healthcare.
Pride in Practicedraws on the outcomes listed under the NHS North West ‘Equality Performance Improvement Toolkit’ to help surgeries meet their obligations under the equalities legislation. The process involves surgeries undergoing self assessment which are then verified by the LGF, which will help to identify precisely the kind of gaps which can then be addressed to ensure that their surgery is fully accessible.
The initiative will be launched on Tuesday, February 14 at 12.30pm in the Lesbian and Gay Foundation headquarters in central Manchester.
