The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had an unprecedented effect on the daily lives of everyone in the UK. The impact of the virus is widespread, however, individuals from marginalised or disadvantaged groups who already experience poorer outcomes in healthcare are often disproportionally affected by the wider healthcare implications of the current situation.
This briefing from LGBT Foundation focuses on the impact of COVID-19 on lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) communities and contains information for front-line staff to support the wider healthcare outcomes of LGBT patients during a period of strain across the NHS.
This includes not only highlighting the experiences of LGBT communities, but information to guide professionals, and to equip staff to signpost patients to additional support during a time when NHS resources are under stress.
With special thanks to the Pride in Practice National Board and GP Champions Network, including Dr Kamilla Kamaruddin, Dr Philippa James, Dr Jatinder Singh, and Dr Luke Wookey, for their professional guidance.
