Rainbow Health and Social Care

Share your experiences of health and care services!

What does good health or social care look like for you?

Do health or social care services respect your LGBTQ+ identity?

How could health or social care services improve?

There is a large gap in understanding of the health and social care experiences of LGBTQ+ Redbridge residents. Evidence indicates that LGBTQ+ people are at higher risk of having poorer outcomes across multiple health and care issues, yet little is known about the situation in Redbridge.

In March and April 2024 we will interview local LGBTQ+ adults about their experiences of health or social care services. We hope to identify examples of good practice, as well as gather ideas for recommendations for action to build on good practice and address gaps.

Please get in touch if you would like to know more about the project or to express your interest in getting involved. Interview participants will be offered a £20 high street voucher.

We will also work with local professionals to assess current support for LGBTQ+-inclusive policy and practice. We are conducting a short anonymous survey for people working in health and care.

We’re very grateful that this project is supported by a grant from Healthwatch Redbridge’s Community Cash Fund.
