St Wulfstan surgery is celebrating Pride month by showing equality, diversity and inclusion for our LGBT+ community. Clinical lead Dr Kirti Viswa and operational lead Mrs Amanda Cogley have been busy co-ordinating policies, protocols and training for all staff.
We are the extremely delighted and proud to be the first practice in Warwickshire to have teamed up with LGBT foundation LGBT Foundation - Training for Organisations for our training. Pride in Practice Co-ordination Stevie Watson –Andrews has conducted our staff training, which was immensely helpful. She helped us understand the inclusive language and the barriers faced by LGBT community. Stevie will be continuing her support for the next year as we are currently in the process of applying for accreditation
We will soon be making changes in our new patient registration forms and adding an exclusive area for LGBT support services on our website.
Dr Viswa attended the Coventry and Warwickshire Pride webinar by Dr Michael Brady ( National LGBT health advisor at NHS England) on 13th June Coventry. She has also completed all the RCGP e-learning modules in Our LGBT+ GP community | RCGP to ensure that St Wulfstan surgery meets all standards and is certainly a Pride Ally.
