Today we are launching our Trans Health, Care and Wellbeing Research Report; in partnership with our Local Healthwatch
The Trans Plus Health Survey is part of a community-based research project, being delivered by the Diversity Trust, and funded by our Local Healthwatch. It is designed to find out about the health and wellbeing of Trans people in our local area; and about Trans people’s experiences of local services.
A short film aimed at schools and young people. The purpose of the film is to raise awareness of the experiences Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBTQ) young people have in schools.
The purpose of the film is to increase awareness of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) people’s experiences accessing health care and to increase access to health care for LGBT communities.
For the past five years the Diversity Trust has been researching the health needs of LGBT+ people and has found evidence to support national findings on Trans experiences. To continue this work we are please to announce that we are working with the Local Healthwatch across Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire to identify the specific needs of local Trans people. Throughout the project we will gather local anecdotes, and patient experiences, from Trans people to feedback to local NHS health service commissioners and providers and to our local Healthwatch.
