The NHS is here for everyone. Trans and non-binary people deserve equity of access, experience and outcome in healthcare. We will continue to work hard to be a voice and advocate for all in the LGBT+ community @lizzietweeter #LGBTHealth #TransRightsAreHumanRights 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
🧵 👇🏽
Our review will make evidence-based recommendations to improve access, experience and outcomes across healthcare for LGBT+ people.

Great 🧵 from the marvellous @profchloeorkin on #mpox 👇🏽
1 Thread on #mpox which is in the news again since a returning traveller was diagnosed in Sweden with a new more dangerous strain which reached Europe for the first time.
In the 2022-23 global outbreak I was clinical advisor to @WHOEurope
Here’s what I think you need to know.

Camilla didn’t change positions so pointedly for no reason. She was in full protection mode.
Sophie eyed the threat first.

Transgender people exist, and they deserve good healthcare.
There are significant obstacles to trans people accessing good quality everyday healthcare.
This guidance aims to help change that (1/n)

What does it mean to 'account for sex and gender' in research - and what to do we need to do to make this change?

Great column on the Cass review theguardian.com/commentisfre…
I can’t overstate the contribution that @DrMikeFarquhar personally and the Rainbow Badge project in general has made to addressing #LGBT health inequalities. It started with one doctor in one hospital and has evolved into an impactful project involving nearly 80 hospital trusts
We are aware of a number of attacks on twitter aimed at @DrMikeFarquhar for showing his lanyard & badges, which show his strong support for all LGBTQ+ patients, including trans folk
We wholeheartedly stand behind him and his work, & proudly wear our @RainbowNHSBadge
It’s all about listening, empathy, compassion, inclusion and patient centred care - all key principles of the NHS. Thanks for what you started @DrMikeFarquhar - I’m proud to be able to continue the work #LGBTHealth 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
