All the doctors and staff are committed to ensuring our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans patients feel included and welcomed at the Practice. We have worked with the LGBT Foundation to educate our staff, update our policies and documents and encourage more openness with dialogue around gender and sexual orientation.
We were delighted to have been awarded the Pride in Practice Gold Award from the LGBT Foundation.
