The theme this year is Medicine – #UnderTheScope
The 2024 theme celebrates LGBT+ peoples’ contribution to the field of Medicine and Healthcare both historically and today. We want to showcase the amazing work of LGBT+ staff across the NHS and in other healthcare settings, in providing healthcare, especially during the Pandemic. Whilst still shining a light on the history of the LGBT+ community’s experience of receiving healthcare which has been extremely complicated leaving LGBT+ people still facing health inequalities even today.
With the theme in mind, the central EDI team are looking for any FMD event ideas anyone may have or are already putting in place and any suggestions for LGBTQIA staff or student profiles to book-end the month and raise awareness. If you have any ideas or are working on an event already, please reach out to Darren Hunwicks d.hunwicks@qmul.ac.uk in the EDI team in HR.
