LGBTQIA+ Specific Populations Resource

The General Practice Mental Health Standards Collaboration (GPMHSC) has released new resources to support GPs in delivering inclusive, trauma-informed and culturally safe care.

The LGBTQIA+ guide provides practical advice on building trust, communicating respectfully, asking sensitive questions, and recognising when additional care considerations are needed. It also addresses challenges such as gender identity, sexual identity, intersectionality, body image concerns and eating disorders.

The full resource hub is available via the GPMHSC website.
