This resource provides advice on how our guidance principles on non-discrimination apply when tackling racism. Where racist behaviour occurs among colleagues and patients, we recognise the fear that many doctors have of reporting these incidents. We’ve signposted to a range of support channels and highlighted the duties we expect of doctors in senior positions in tackling and rooting out discrimination where it arises.

Lancashire Trans and Gender Diverse HNA summary document

TraffordPH_LB — 2025-05-06 16:23:29 UTC

(Summary taken from ADPH article)

On the 4th March 2025, a Trans and Gender Diverse Health Needs Assessment for Lancashire, authored by Dr Sonia Chauhan (ST2) and Dr Michael Alexander, was launched.

There is evidence that the trans and gender diverse population (TGD) experience health inequalities in the UK. Ultimately, this results in higher levels of mortality compared to cisgender people (people who do not experience discomfort or distress regarding their birth sex), with concerns around suicide and self-harm. However, there is still much that is not known, with research tending to focus on mental health, substance use disorders and communicable disease such as HIV. Less research has looked at non-communicable disease or the determinants of health for TGD people.

Guided by a steering group including local experts who work with TGD people, this project aimed to better understand the health needs of the trans and gender diverse population in Lancashire. Local data was collected through an online survey hosted by the charity Lancashire LGBT which gathered both quantitative and qualitative data.

The recommendations are split into four key themes:

Building a bigger, safer world for TGD people
Celebrating progress and positive stories
Designing in inclusion
Creating a confident and inclusive workforce, championing diversity
