Pride in Practice
West Street Surgery is working towards the ‘Pride in Practice’ award to make our practice more inclusive and to enhance the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals accessing primary care services. We are inviting the LGBTQ+ community to share their insights on how GP Practices can become more inclusive and enhance the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals accessing primary care services. We have devised a brief, anonymous survey and would greatly value your feedback https://s.surveyplanet.com/od0aqs7m
