Article Synopsis
- - The first audit of LGBTQ+ inclusivity in UK fertility care reveals significant shortcomings in clinical knowledge and cultural competence, particularly affecting transgender and gender diverse patients.
- - Despite some efforts to improve inclusivity, systemic barriers like cisheteronormativity and discrimination persist, leaving LGBTQ+ patients under-represented in both research and practice.
- - A checklist for enhancing LGBTQ+ inclusivity was co-developed with community members, focusing on cultural competence, clinical considerations, and online presence, highlighting the urgent need for better support and understanding in fertility care.
Objective: In order to address the lack of data on the health and healthcare needs of trans and non-binary adults, NHS England includes questions asking about both gender and trans status in its surveys to support quality improvement programmes.We used self-reported data from the GP Patient Survey to answer the research question: what are the demographic characteristics, health conditions and healthcare experiences of trans and non-binary adults in England?
Design/setting: Nationally representative, population-based cross-sectional survey in England with survey data collection from January to March 2021.
Participants: 840 691 survey respondents including 6333 trans and non-binary adults.
