LGBT+ Health Inequality free webinar series for Pride month
Throughout Pride month, Public Health England Yorkshire and Humber Centre are hosting a series of free webinars which bring together public health professionals, researchers and voluntary sector employees working in LGBT+ health.
These webinars will explore why LGBT+ people report disproportionately poorer health outcomes than the wider population and worse experiences of healthcare across the life course. They will also provide an opportunity to showcase best practice and look at how we can foster new ways of working to address and improve LGBT+ health inequalities across the following public health topics.
· Understanding the health needs of LGBT+ people – 07 June
· Understanding and tackling Health Risk Behaviours among LGBT+ people (Smoking, substance use and physical activity) – 14 June
· Sexual Health and Wellness for LGBT+, MSM and WSW – 22 June
· Perinatal care of LGBT+- how can we do it better? – 29 June
· Being young and LGBT+- issues affecting LGBT children and young people – 06 July
· LGBT+ equality in later life and ageing well – 15 July
These events are open to professionals from across the health, social care and VCSE sectors with a responsibility for addressing LGBT+ health inequalities, including Local Authorities, primary care services, policy makers, commissioners and NHS trusts.
