LGBTQ+ History Month 2024

7/2/2024

February is LGBTQ+ History Month, and 2024’s theme is ‘Medicine – Under the Scope’. You can find out more at the LGBTQ+ History Month website.

The EDI Team have created a page on the Trust Intranet to celebrate. It is full of information including local and online events, film list, information about LGBTQ+ historical figures in medicine and healthcare, articles written by Trust staff and much more.

The Proud@MWL Staff Network will be hosting an online lunchtime talk by Dr Michael Brady FRCP (He/Him) - National Advisor for LGBT Health, NHS England. He will be speaking about ‘issues faced by the workforce and ways we can support them and how we can deliver more inclusive workplaces’. There will be a questions and answer session at the end of the event. The talk will be on Tuesday 27th February at 12:15-1:15pm, via MS Teams. More information about Dr Brady and the link to book your attendance can be found on the Intranet page linked above.

The Library and Knowledge Service catalogue has a large selection of LGBTQ+ books from NHS Libraries in the North West. You can access the selection here https://bit.ly/4buLJnV. If you would like to reserve any of the titles, please contact us by email on [email protected] or by telephone on 01704 704202. We will be showcasing our pick of these books on our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts throughout February.

What Our Library Users Are Saying...

"Apprentices now have greater access to resources, not only at College or University but in the workplace. The benefits are not solely logistical; the resources and services available to them via the Library & Knowledge Service are current, relevant and varied."

"The library provided me with the evidence base to support a service development of developing a early discharge detox policy. This has improved patient clinical outcomes. This also reduces length of stay and re-attendance at A&E."

"Literature searches carried out by the library staff assisted in the development of a new education program for unregistered staff in response to the Francis report."

"The library carried out a literature search and provided my team with a wealth of relevant information from a variety of different sources that we were able to use within our poster presentation."
