Educating healthcare providers and professionals
Our team develops and delivers training sessions and programmes for professionals working across the whole spectrum of cancer care. We provide introductory sessions for people at the start of their journey through to detailed programmes aimed at specific settings or specialties, including clinical research, cancer services across primary and secondary care, through to support and social prescribing. Our aim is to arm you with the knowledge and strategies you need to make your environments more inclusive for LGBTIQ+ patients.

Build a campaign
We work with commissioners and funders to build ground-breaking health campaigns to improve both the visibility and the quality of information available.
We work directly with our community through co-creation workshops, bridging the gap between LGBTIQ+ people and healthcare services to deliver eye-catching campaigns that speak directly to our community. Our funders and collaborators often choose to pair one of our campaigns directly with an education programme to maximise their impact, and we recommend it!
To discuss how we could work together, head over to our contact form and get in touch.
At the forefront of new developments
We’re publish research and are at the forefront of new developments in LGBTIQ+ cancer. We also listen to our community and hear directly from people going through cancer every day about their experiences.
